    Carbon fiber in the strangest places

    Got my mammo today and I mentioned to the tech that the bottom platen was carbon fiber. (I always have to make a little small talk when they are...umm...adjusting the position.} She said I was the second one today who said that. Hmm... I wonder if the other gal was a cyclist too?

    Did it make the procedure go any faster?

    You folks made me laugh. Thank you!

    Wouldn't it be GREAT if they went faster? And maybe there's more "give" and a more comfortable "ride"?

    Hey, I had my Dexa today, too. But the Dexa and Mammo are in the same place for me.

    I screwed up and had to reschedule the dexa. I didn't get the memo and took my calcium in the morning.
    Apparently, you're not supposed to do that!
