Kim, you are no longer allowed to make fun of my advanced maternal age. Kind of like, you can’t really make fun of a stupid person for being stupid. It hits too close to home. I’m sure you’re on the edge of your seat, wondering what has prompted this ban. I had my first mammogram this afternoon. I’ve been dodging it for a couple of years, but the doctor caught up with me.
I guess I’m finally an adult. Hand me my Geritol, dearie.
The actual exam wasn’t that bad. Not nearly as painful as I thought it would be, just uncomfortable. I had a bigger problem with standing partially naked in a room with a stranger, while she moves body parts around like you’re a mannequin. It’s all very awkward as she grabs a breast, stretches it out (and I mean S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-S), then smashes it between two plastic plates. Thankfully, it didn’t take very long, only about 15 minutes. Talk about standing too close to someone. Get away from me!
Only two years until my next one. I can’t wait!
boy, that description made me wanna run out and get one! ;)
Oh fun. I am up for my first one (well doc said I should’ve had my first in October)… Yeah better call that number to make an appt. fast.
Welcome to the world of mammograms, aren’t they fun? And they always have a smile on
their face like they enjoy hurting us. Must take a special sort of person to do that job.
Thankfully, they only happen once a year.

Mammograms are the most painful for people with huge boobs or very small boobs. I don’t really know who that leaves.
Cheater.
Thanks for all your ‘support’ everyone! ;>
Walker? I’m getting wheels. Wheelchair races, although mine will be the power kind. I am totally running people over.
Sarah – I was concerned about that too! But, they practically lay/jam you onto that thing. But, really, it’s not that bad. Just weird.
Kim – I was thinking the same thing! So, now were both old. We can have walker races when we’re really old. :>
