I'm sorry for the drift.

(((((((BikingNurse))))))) I'm sending you my best wishes that everything turns out fine and that they can find an explanation, and a cure, for your pain.

Indy, I'll PM you tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks. I see, too, that there's a prior thread. I must have missed that the first time around, but I'll do a search for it.

I'm sorry about the thread drift, too. This is obviously an important subject, but the most immediate concern is about BikingNurse for sure. I'm sending you positive vibes.

Hugs to all!

I decided long ago that if men had to have weenie exams using the same technology (i.e. squish 'em and stretch 'em) the technology would have been much more comfy.

As much as we all don't look forward to mammograms, as you're getting squished just think about all the crying that would be going on if, instead, it was your significant male's prized part getting flattened.

If nothing else, you might giggle...

(i mean this as no disrespect to the boys... but they can be such babies 'bout those weenies)

spazz-of-the-goofy-humor

P.s. There was an old sitcom called "Love and War" where the guy was scheduled for a mammo. He asked one of the women what it was like and the woman (using "weenie" instead of "breast" described the process. It was one of the funniest monologues I've ever heard. "Love and War" was a spin-off of "Murphy Brown".

Spazzdog
thanks for the laugh! OHH just the thought. got me gigglin at my desk.

** Thanks for the vibes everyone. I do appreciate it. The one thing that bugs me about the whole thing is when they say "Don't worry" COME ON! no, it's not consuming my everythought, but yea, I'm worried. So, again I thank you. and I will let you know whats going on.

Always available for a giggle BikigNurse... just keep that image firmly in your head during the mammo. Just try not to shake the machine with the laughter

spazz - you just made me spew tea

BikingNurse - Here's hoping that you get a definitive answer, that it's nothing serious, and that the pain can be resolved.

My spouse had to have a mammogram before I did, and had a cyst removed...not to mention all kinds of issues with his other parts related to testicular cancer. My best friend has been through both cervical and ovarian cancer (talk about lightning striking twice) so I think of how brave they have been and all they've been through and signing up for a mammogram every year just seems miniscule in comparison.

Hoping for the best possible test results for the original poster.

Just had my mammo last week, lst one in um..over 12 yrs. Can't remember.

Pain ..is minor and so short the procedure. There are certain dental procedures I dislike even more...from pain threshold point of view.

The mammo technician was a good person. Not surprisingly there's a shortage of mammo technicians in B.C. Sort of job at a mammogram screening clinic (attached to a teaching hospital) would not be easy to find people who would be the right fit for the job, given patient reactions/fears.

Everything dental bothers me much much more because it is so "in your face."
Maybe that's why I was fine with my colonoscopy.

It just occurred to me that Mammo and Pap could be your grandparents

**BikingNurse** · 10-15-2009, 09:46 AM

First of all, thank you everyone for your support. And alot of you really made me laugh.
as far as my results...... DRUMROLL.......
Everything looks fine. It turns out that my pain was actally caused by my shoulder impingment. So, I will go ahead with my plans to get that fixed (surgically) I've tried injections and PT. I keep having flair ups. So, The girls are good and my shoulder was the culprit it's been on my bad list since this spring. (atleast it has not been bad with cycling).
I'll be joining a gym this year so I can spin and not use my arm!
Again, thanks!!

I'm happy to hear that it was your shoulder and not your girls. Not that your shoulder issues sound fun or anything, but you know what I mean!

**Aquila** · 10-17-2009, 06:41 PM

Yay for your good news. Thanks for letting us know.

I hope your shoulder heals as fast as it can!

Now back to your regularly scheduled topic drift...
