All Clear

Well, mostly all clear. I have a dilated duct that needs further exploration (appointment on Monday) but overall, looks like I'm ok.

When I was ordered to have a mammogram, the first thing I googled was, "Do mammograms hurt?" and I couldn't find a definitive answer. I know pain is unique to each person but I will tell you, mammograms do hurt. Luckily it's only for a moment. And since your boob is stuck in a vice grip while you are contorted around the machine like a monkey, and you have to hold your breath (which is good since you stink to high heaven due to the no-deodorant rule), the claustrophobia/entrapment sensation overrides the actual pain.

I just know that if men had to endure a test where their nuts are mashed flat in a vice, there would be a better test widely available and covered by insurance. Insurance companies cater to men anyway. How ridiculous is it that a man can get a prescription for a pill to make his pecker hard for just a co-pay and women have to pay for birth control out of pocket? Last time I checked, giving birth costs a lot of money. Hard peckers are a direct cause of pregnancy. I've been pregnant twice and both times, there was a hard pecker involved.
