Mammogram was normal, yeah! Got that one out of the way for another year. Next test is the last week of December, so I can focus on the holidays now.
It took forever at the mammo place this morning, apparently they had one room down and it set everything way back. I was there 2 hours from start to finish (but because they read them right there I don't mind the waiting after the mammo is done).
God did it hurt! I swear it hurts worse each time. Ugh! But a necessary torture. I have a friend who swears it doesn't hurt her. I mentioned this to the tech. She thought that was highly unusual. She must see a lot of grimaces and tears.
I went out to lunch with my friend afterwards, a belated bday lunch. I had something completely unhealthy. It's hard to pick healthy things when you're starving because you just spent the whole morning at the mammo place and was completely stressed out the whole time. I got a cornmeal crusted chicken cutlet, spinach, provolone cheese & hot pepper on a very fresh Italian long roll sandwich. Half the sandwich was a whole sandwich, so I ate half and brought the rest home for A. I took off the hot peppers but the bits and pieces that stayed made the sandwich hot here and there without being too hot. Until my last bite when a seed got on the back of my tongue. Oww! Not a good spot for such heat.
When I got home I had a few minutes to relax before going to get Z. at the bus stop. When I went outside it has started snowing! Big flakes and lots of them. Z. was excited when she got off the bus, she said "this was unexpected!". It's still snowing a bit out there tonight. It's not really sticking much, a little in the backyard and bushes, but not on road surfaces. My kind of snow! Just stay off the roads and it can snow all it wants :-)

YAY for a normal mammogram. Glad you had a treat afterward. That sandwich sounds yummy. Johnna
I second Johnna's YAY! I have mine on Dec.1st, and I'm stressing about it a little bit. I'll have results before I leave, so at least I'll know right away. It takes longer when they read it while you wait, but I'd rather spend the extra time than have to make an extra trip. I'm hoping for the "see you in 12 months!" result! Usually it's not that simple for me.
What do you mean unhealthy, it had spinach on it! :^)
About the mamo hurting - it really doesn't hurt me, It's not something I like, but it's not pain and I'm a pain wimp. The corner of the machine sticking into my underarm or side is far more uncomfortable. The tech always looks apologetic "Hold on, just a little more" and now I know why.
