That special age of 40 means yesterday I lined up for my first mammogram...yee haaarrrr!
They tell you it's an uncomfortable feeling, which is probably right, but when you have to go BACK into that room for the 3rd time and they're really looking for a certain something the squishing, squashing, becomes bloody flattening what is already quite a non-event as far as boobs go :-)
Anyway, here's hoping (after * 3 times in the mammogram room * 1 ultrasound with fine needle biopsy by a very super-efficient Doctor * 3 hours up at St. Andrews + a mammoth bill at the end!) that the result on Monday will be it's just another cyst. The staff at the Breast Diagnostic Clinic are great - fantastic! up-to-date magazines, yummy fresh sandwiches, tea, coffee etc and along with that you know everyone gowned up in the waiting room with you is about to have the same thing done and no-one is better than anyone else.
Okay - all that done - home I went and slept for about 2 hours :-) needed it ...then Michael brought Benjamin home and the talk of dinner came up. Initial plan was for Benjamin to drive me to buy some meat from Woolies, but changed our mind when we got to 'The Ridge' as a new place called Pizza Capers had opened.... awesome! A really innovative, interesting-looking place with an extensive menu. We ordered a chook pizza + a 'serenDIPity' which included one dip plus about 8 little pieces of herb pizza bread. 15 minutes later (after we'd been to the bottle-o) once 'Grainger' hit the screen and said 'NOW' we were on our way home to really enjoy a good 'pig-out' as Dad would have said...
