June 29th, 2006 ~ My daughter LaTrisha’s painful mammogram experience- It’s just a little funny

Sharing part of my daughters blog she posted today.  Here is Her mammogram experience.

 “BE HAPPY YOU ARE NOT A FEMALE!!

 I had my very first mammogram yesterday and let me just say. OUCH! I swear they were trying to push the lump right out or something..  or just do their own little mastectomy right there. I’d seriously love to go get more piercings and tattoos before I do THAT again. So yeah..  guys are so damn lucky. I’ve always thought it sucked we had periods and cramps and had to be pregnant and give birth..  but lets go ahead and add mammograms to the list!! Like my Mom said.. I’m definitely not going to be one of those women now who tries to urge everyone to stay on top of getting their mammograms done yearly after they’re 30  (K well I think I still will..  but I don’t have to practice what I preach right? I’ll go ahead and take my chances .)”

 I Told her she does not have enough fat to help cushion the impact just yet, So yep it hurts. They even had to come back in and do another film, and she was like “NOOOOOOOO”, and felt like running out of there half naked and all.  To top that off,  She had to go to the Doctors this morning, she has Strep Throat.  Bet she really hates me sharing her health problems with everyone.   But anyway I will need to stay away from her until she gets enough of those antibiotics in her.  As for me, I may have pneumonia, from that fluid in my right lung.  The past few days it has really hurt to breath or lay down.  Feels like someone is sitting on my chest. Had a Dr. appt today to see, but the Dr. had to reschedule it till tomorrow.  So I will know something more then.  Told me to just keep a check on my temperature, if I start getting a fever go to the hospital. I actually do feel a little better now then I did yesterday.  It’s probably nothing.  Just some kind of cancer associated pain. Have not been taking very good care of myself.  Shame on me.  Not eating too healthy, drank alcohol two weekends in a row. Sleeping schedule is messed up again.  Wake up everytime Nakoma moves to make sure she is okay or she may need something. So that all adds up.  Anyway I am babbling, will know more about me tomorrow, more about LaTrisha’s results hopefully by Monday.

Well, I made me some chicken stir-fry so I am going to eat.
