I'm ready for afternoon already
I'm a little nervous this morning. I have my first mammogram around midday today. I am not looking forward to it. I am wanting to get it over with and wish I could just go now and be done with it. I wasn't really thinking that much about it till my last doctor visit and she was talking about getting a squish pad so that it would cut down on the pain and not to be freaked if they had shadows on it and needed to do another one or if they had to do an ultra sound. Pretty much I hadn't thought about it in that detail. I figured I would have it done and be that. Not that I might have to stick my boobs in the vise more than once or anything. I would rather have got that talk if they had to do another time and told me why then.
I am still hoping it's not going to be bad. I had not really thought it would be but then after that talk there is this little feeling in my stomach that I wish would just go away. I think it's called worry. I am not use to dealing with it. I might deal with high stress levels over things in my life but I don't normally have worry like this. It's only 7:30am....it's going to be a long morning.

I hope everything is going ok today! I have never had one done as of yet, so I can only imagine how nervewracking it is to go :( I LOVE the healthy changes you made in your previous post, by the way! I really do just plain suck at leaving comments for people, but I'm here quite often reading up on you! Keep up all the great work and changes you are making!!!

Hi Annie,
I hope that the mammo went okay. I can't say that I enjoy them but I don't dread them anymore. I have to have them every 6 months because my doctor is over cautious. I guess that is a good thing though. I have what she likes to call "lumpy boobs" so I always have to have an ultrasound to double check everything. I have also had two lumps removed that turned out to be scar tissue. Seems large breasted women sometimes get scar tissue from getting hit in the boob too much. I was a bit of a tomboy growig up. Anyway, I do hope that all went well. From someone who knows, it is better to get it over with and relax than to worry about things. Life is just to short to angst.

Lisa - Thanks. It was not bad at all. It was like I thought it would be to start with before my doctor started to talk to me about it. LOL
Dee - The mammo went fine. I was a tomboy too...heck after I grew up I was still some what a tomboy LOL. Now to just wait for the results and that I am not worrying about.
