*squish*

Well I've been mammogrammed now... it wasnt *too* bad. The most uncomfy part was that the machine would kinda *pinch* the pectoral muscles, right near the collarbone...more often than not, landing *squarely* on a pressure point.

*ouch*, I say... *ouch*

LOL what they often dont remember to tell you, is that each b@@b must be done *twice*, once on a horizontal axis, once on a vertical axis...fortunately the *machine* rotates, not the patient.

so overall, I'd say its not that bad... (i did ask the tech not to _pop_ them, tho)

So if you are supposed to be getting one.. get thee hence to the radiologist...It's quite survivable.

many thanks to the ladies who erassued me about the process.. and likewise thanks to the kind gentlemen who _generously_ offered to help me with a home exam... :P

ooh, your poor squishy boobies. I'm sure that someone will volunteer to kiss them and make it better.

Oof. *squish*

I mean, it's a good purpose for a *squish*, but still a *squish*... *chuckle*

Glad you went and got one, tho! We'd like the captain to stick around for a while, know? ;)

You make me *so* glad that they decided my risk factors were low enough that I could wait until 40 for my baseline to be done... OTOH, that's coming up sooner all the time (maybe they'll come up with something gentler in the next almost 2 years??? {said in a wishful, hopeful voice})
