I got the "girls" squished yesterday......
and I have to say it wasn't that bad. If someone is unsure as to who the "girls" are and what the "squished" means, I'm referring to my first mammography. I'm still over a year away from 40, but my OB likes to get a baseline prior to 40, like 5 years prior but I'm a few year late to the party :D
I went with my best friend yesterday, Monday. I will say I was a bit worried just because I'm a worrier. My doctor was having me do a bilateral sonogram along with the regular mammo because I have dense breast tissue. The whole procedure really wasn't bad at all. The only complaint I have is that the technician pulled my one boob so far forward that she cut the skin on the underside. OUCH!
Because yesterday was a Jewish holiday, they said there weren't any doctors in to read the results right away and that there is a good chance that they will want me to come back for more pictures since this is my baseline, or that they didn't get a clear picture or that they want a better look at something specific. o_O So while I'm waiting in the reception area for my friend to finish, I had 35 minutes for these statements to keep swimming around in my head. When my BF came out, I told her what the technicians said and that I'm going to be on pins and needles for the next day or so because a doctor will not be looking at my results for another day. She told me that there was a doctor on site and if anything looked out of the ordinary or suspicious to anyone, they would have had the doctor look at it and brought me back in for more tests. I don't know if that is correct but it did put my mind at ease some what.
So today was my day off and I spent it in a relaxing mode now that I'm not so worried about yesterday. During the course of the day, I realized that I have not been paying attention to what I've been eating this past weekend because I was so worried about my mammography. I really am seriously thinking about skipping Weight Watchers tomorrow because I don't want to get depressed :(
