Every morn, first thing I do is check "my schedule" for any appointments. With great happiness and merriment I saw: Mammogram 1pm. Well, now I just know it's going to be a lovely day. And I have all morning to get ready and fuss.
Anyway, off to the appointment. Checking in about 20 minutes early, I approached the desk- "I'm here".She smiled at me and said they would have to see the other victims first - their appointments were before mine. Fair enough. So I do what I always do, start writing recipes from their magazines. My issue featured chicken breasts.
Just as my sis and I were frantically scratching out recipes and forgetting why I am there, a little old lady marched out from the dressing rooms. She glared at me, all 5 feet of her and said"It's a torture chamber in there". I smiled my thanks and thought now would be a good time to wheel out the door with her- when I heard"Madame Coward, you may come in now".
Anyway, we head off for lunch nearby - afterwards I check my messages-"Madame Coward? Ah, there seems to be a problem with one of the films - could you swing by again (no pun intended) and we'll just re-do the right side." When I arrived, the lovely tech was indeed waiting at the desk - she is a nice gal and I appreciated her seeing me right away. I told her,"Don't worry about a gown this time" - She was cool and merrily said"Ok" to the clatter of several purses and magazines behind us - of course we meant in the op.

You are so funny!!! No doubt, I'll be remembering this post "next time." Leave everyone wondering what I'm giggling about to myself.
Oh my, the dreaded torture chamber......
You're so cute...thanks for giving me a good chuckle.
Hope you have a good weekend.
Hugs,
We always say that that contraption had to be invented by a man! Hope the second pic turned out fine. A neccessary evil....
Funny....I am always Ms Doom and Gloom....think how you can walk in happy and walk out with your world turned upside down. Thankfully, always leave with a heavy sigh of relief!!!
Yes, I hope the second one turned out o.k.
I had a similar experience. My first mammogram. I sat impatiently waiting for the "all clear" signal. The radiologist came out and called my name. I got up and prepared to leave.
"Sorry, we've found something.." I couldn't believe my ears. I just gaped at him. Went back in and they did find something, which thankfully turned out to be nothing. But I was really scared for a while.
Hope you are o.k.
