These guys have been there for you. I can only give you a female caregiver's experience.

My husband didn't want to have it done either, but after having it, he could relate to how it is to be a woman. If you don't mind, I will relate a story that happened to us.

Last year, I went into my OB-GYN to have my annual pap-smear. In the middle of the procedure (girls you can relate.....the speculum was juuuuuuuust going in!) my Nextel beeps. My hubby....."Honey, you there?" The doctor started laughing and wanted to know if I wanted her to stop the exam and search in my purse for the phone!!!!!!!

This is not to make fun of your procedure at all. Only to let you know that we women know how it feels to be violated, and we're here for support anytime you need us.
