Mammogram today and I don't want to! But I will. My stomach is in knots with anxiety. I know I make it out to be worse than it is. The new machines are nothing like the old ones. Yet, I want to huddle in a closet with a flashlight and a book until I miss the appointment. LOL

Yesterday, we cleaned the house, and I caught up on laundry. We played a video game together off and on all day while we cleaned, and later we watched Captain Marvel. We also went out to eat but it was just eh. E won at King in the Corner, and I won at Rummy. (We always play some sort of game while we eat together, even at restaurants.)

Thankful:
Hubby loves me enough to go to my mammogram appointment with me, just so I can hug him after. His hatred of doctor stuff is epic.

Goal for day:
I will try not to cry today. It always freaks the techs out. & I already exercised, so yay me. I knew a post mammogram exercise was NOT going to happen.

Positive Thoughts:
Tomorrow will put today behind me. I can do 1 rough day, and I can especially do 1 rough hour. I will be ok. I WILL be ok.

❤️ Thank you for posting this!! I’m such a baby, I’ve been putting mine off for a long time. I’ve been trying to work up the nerve to call and schedule it. But my one and only mammogram was the worst freaking pain, I just can’t imagine voluntarily doing it again! 😫 I hope yours went well and didn’t hurt like crazy! I’m going to call tomorrow! “I can do one rough hour!” 👍

Just remember, the pain and inconvenience of a mammogram is nothing compared to the pain and inconvenience of breast cancer. Thank goodness for mammograms!

You’re totally right @shirfleur

Well, you did bring the matter to a public forum so everyone is entitled to an opinion. You have to take the harsh with the good. Sounds like you are ok and that’s great!

Your are right. Thank goodness for mammograms. The appt went better than expected. I don't know if it was the tech or the fact that I am drinking more water, but I didn't cry and the pain was tolerable. Another year done!

I got snarky, but I deleted it. I am sorry. I overreacted. Rudeness is my hot button, and I got hot, fast. My bad.

I am so glad you went and had a better experience. My mammogram (and then ultrasounds, MRI) saved my life. Early detection

I just came on to check on you. I am so glad it went well. The new machines are so much better. I am glad we both went. :-)
