I'm lucky with my hospital that they give me the results right away, so I leave knowing that my girls are healthy for another year. And I planned my mammos so well - the day after I celebrate my birthday, what a birthday present to me! YAY! But it's reassuring to leave the hospital and not having that stress weighing on my mind. Now... onto my CT-angiogram that I have to have every year for my tiny brain aneurysm.

You know, it briefly occurred to me that it could be because of perimenopause, but I was not thiking about it yet. Krikey. I should probably read that book. I looked up perimenopause just now and it did say mid-forties and I'm turning 43 this summer, so that might be it!<br /><br />And you are right, the MRI sounds ridiculous and I will die laughing if they ever have to do that to me.Cindy Brownhttp://www.everydayunderwear.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837201606358940799.post-44854513803724752002012-05-13T08:23:48.274-05:002012-05-13T08:23:48.274-05:00The first mammo I had they redid the right side, t...The first mammo I had they redid the right side, then redid it three months later, then six months after that. Nothing. Last years later I felt the lump in my left girl. BC-Go figure. I guess it's a good thing I don't mind the mammo too much. Now I get them alternating with a breast MRI. Have you seen how they do those? You get on your knees, lay on your stomache with your boobs hanging down into foam tubes. It's ridiculous!<br /><br />About that choking feeling. Two thoughts-I felt like I had something stuck in my throat for about two years, and I had heart fluttering. After getting them thoroughly checked out we (not dr's) concluded they were peri-menopausal symptoms, read Before the Change by Ann Louise Gittleman. <br /><br />I've had so many lady friends visiting cardiologist and wearing heart monitors they were starting to accessorize them. <br /><br />The second thing-I had a sharp pain midback that turned out to be GERDS. I take Prilosec and no more pain. It also causes me to feel like something is stuck in my throat. <br /><br />Today's health tips bought to you by...Cruzan Black Cherry Rum.

Pretty much has the same effect - although to be honest I haven't tried the driveway approach yet - what with time being so short and my attachment to said 'girls'. I had to have an ultrasound too and tried not to freak out - I'm just fine.

And really, why worry? If it is something, then it is and I just start dealing with it as a part of my life's journey. I guess I should get used to them having to do it again - maybe I have dense breast tissue and I hear that always makes it harder to "see" things in there.<br /><br />I thought up the ma'am-o-gram thing, but I just searched and it has been used before, so I can't take credit for coining the phrase, but it's fun nonetheless. I'm always making up names for things and will coin a term eventually.Cindy Brownhttp://www.everydayunderwear.com/noreply@blogger.com
