I can't get into the ob/gyn till after the New Year. This will be the second time I have had this kind of worry on my mind during holidays- first time was some 36 years ago when I was pregnant, and this Blankity blank of a doctor told me I definitely had cancer!
It turned out he liked to hassle unmarried women that way - he felt it was his right since they had been consorting with the devil. He just made stuff up to antagonize younger women.

But whatever is DUB? I was up an extra half horu last night trying to decipher "MOTU" which turned out to be an acronym for "Masters of The Universe."

And I certainly will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. We have a long history going way back of usually supporting each other on DU threads. I remember how you joined DU as a reaction to pResident George the Younger and the way he had of making a sane person nuts.
