Don't read this if you are easily embarrassed or offended!

So... today I owned up to being a 40 year old woman and went to get my first mammogram. The reason I am blogging about this is because of a recent post about laughing at inopportune moments. i have always heard the horror stories of this procedure and was not looking forward to it... although I truly thought that since I really have no boobs - how hard could this be - I am already as flat as a pancake! Well... let's start at the beginning, I go in and fill out paper work and she asks me if I have had implants... really? Refer to previous sentence!! If I did, I got jipped! Next you go in and yada yada ya... so I am in the actual procedure and this cute older lady (they use them to throw you off) starts to position things and I am thinking... seriously? You think that is part of my breast? Anyway... then the machine gets you in it's vices and she says "now hold still! (Where would I go... I am attached to that part of my anatomy!) So here is the problem - when I am in pain - I usually laugh so as not to cry so much or at all. She just told me not to move and I am starting to get the giggles (definitely an inappropriate moment to laugh!) - thankfully at the point that I think I can't take anymore before I really start laughing or crying I am released from the torture - then she says we only have to do that 3 more times!! Fabulous! All in all, not having done it before, I have to say it wasn't as horrible as I imagined, but it is no picnic either. Certainly something developed by a man!! Haven't heard any results - but I am hoping for the letter that says we'll see you again in a few years!!
