Also, note to Noah's preschool. I get WHY you don't want kids at Back to School night. But this is a required parent meeting and you want me to bring potluck AND no kids are allowed? After work work on a Monday? WTF?!
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Can't hurt, right?
I'm pretty sure it hurts. Which is why I haven't done it. I worry that the amount of valium I'll need to take to not freak out while a giant machine flattens some precious portion of my anatomy is also an amount that will make it difficult for me to remain standing during said procedure. Then I think about fainting while my tit is in the crusher, and then I have to stop thinking.

Why can't your OBGYN be your GP? Esp if you like her.
Our school has kids come to Back to School Night and it's a bit of a clusterfuck of chaos. I don't think any meaningful info can be conveyed in that environment. That said, the kids think it's a blast.
I'm pretty sure it hurts.
Oh, well now that you mention it, it is a bit awkward and uncomfortable. I wouldn't go so far as to say it hurts.

I don't have a GP. Problem. But I have a dentist, damnit.
Oh HAI big RAT setting off my neighbor's motion detector lights! You are large, and oddly, Loki missed you completely. Do not live in my garage, please. Gah, need to open that up someday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have never had an OB/Gyn. My internist took care of all those things. I hope my new one does that too. It's the same office as my old do-it-all. I hope he has the same practices. I don't want another new doctor. I have enough medical professionals in my life. The ER guys take up a serious chunk of my attention span. Seriously, they're kinda part of my social life.
I think mammos can be wildly uncomfortable, but painful? I hope not.
Okay, call done. God, that was way worth being alert for.

The grocery store I went to on the way home didn't have gorgonzola. This peeves me because I wanted to make gorgonzola polenta this weekend.
I have been given a relatively clean bill of health by the doctor, aside from the usual problems, but I'm looking askance at the information sheets on some of the new drugs I'll be starting.

It's possible that I'm freaking out about freaking out, more than pain. Though, my sister said it hurt, using a colorful metaphor.

In solidarity, there are a couple of things on my To Do list that I am avoiding doing like whoa. If someone yelled at me about them, it probably would make me even less likely to get it done.
t fistbump We'll get it done eventually, right?

I didn't mean to sound glib, Zen. I am sure there's a range of responses to having a mammo. I can only say it didn't hurt me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I will pipe up and say that I too am on the Scary! side of girly bits stuff. PLUS I get an extra measure of prudishness, and yeah, I don`t have a GP and I don`t have an OB/GYN and I haven`t gotten them done. And I should know better, because I have friends with breast cancer. But I have to say, in the back of my mind I`m all, they can do that freakish nakey airport scan but they can`t work out a noninvasive way to test for this stuff? C`mon, science.
