My dr said my pap results were 'normal'. what does that mean?

Normal: It is exactly what your doctor said - normal. To say another way, not pathology was found on review of slide. Understand however that any test result is retrospective, not prospective. Normal pap today is not guarantee of normal result tomorrow. Thus, the same way as your check your car, check periodically yourself to avoid big problems and assure your health.
