Oh yes school medicals. Another of those moments when they decided that boys didn’t have feelings so it was ok to make them stand in line in just their underpants where the whole school could see, the girls would never have to do that.

It wasn’t easy for the other boys to scare me though, I’d already been through more than they could have imagined, perhaps being such a sickly child did have some advantages

I’m soooo glad almost all my medicals has been without any major embarrassment. I’ve heard some horror stories, and I still remember the school physicals. While sitting there waiting in line we did our best to scare the shit of each others by telling about previous (made up, luckily) experiences. Quite fun actually. Nowadays that’ll say.

Love
Daniel

I actually got praise for trying which yes, I definitely earned. You’re right. Definitely a good move by the doctor I’d confused bravery with stupidity and it could have got a lot worse.

It’s quite frightening how we’ll try to be loved isn’t it? I think it’s part of blaming ourselves for everything that’s gone wrong

At a young age it’s a simple check for any bladder deformity. When we’re old codgers it’s the dear old prostate check

Well, I’m ignorant and I brought it up (as it were!) and I still don’t know why they all put their fingers up our bums. Do tell!

Ahh, what we willing put ourselves thru to make others love us….sigh. If only we didn’t feel the need to “earn” love from those that should love us without reservation.

Everyday I wake up with my hubby, when I see the happiness in my sons faces when they come by to visit, hear the smile in their voices when the talk to me on the phone, I makes a lie out of all the times I was told that I was unlovable. And heals just another bit of that hurt layer. Everyone that loves you, that cares for you, that is joyful to see you, talk to you also makes a lie of your step dads actions.

So you were on your way. Did you earn the praise you had thought this would bring? Was he happy, and tell you he was proud of you? I hope so because from the sounds of the exam you earn it.

Glad the Doctor got you to tell him it was hurting you, or he may have had to do it longer.

Be well and happy.
