Everybody's doing it

[antof9]

You know when you put something on a to-do list and it's not on fire, so you keep moving it forward, or hitting snooze, or whatever method you use to put it off, and pretty soon it's been a year since you added it to your list? No? Just me? Well, I do that all the time. And sometimes it's 2 years, and then 3 and then I turned around and I was

Oh yay, there's a song :)

Yeah, I keep forgetting I have to go back, but I think I'd rather do that than sit and be miserable thinking about it. They did a good job of saying, "it's probably nothing and we just want to look at one little thing again, to be sure" ... so I'm mostly ok :)

Had to giggle a bit at your 34th BD rude-awakening moment. Mine was 40. Truly traumatic at the time. Now 40 sounds like being 16 again. Not so funny, though, about your being called back for another mammogram. Chances are very high that you are fine, so I hope you are stressing too much in the interim. Easy for me to say, right? Update us when you can and make a date with yourself to go every year now. Promise.

Isn't it weird how one day you're fine and one day OH DEAR LORD, I'M OLD?! oh LOL

I'm not stressing out too much - maybe they did TOO good of a job reassuring me this sometimes happens, etc. Of course, I'm not thinking about it much either. Maybe by Tuesday I'll be more freaked out :)

Good to went!

I had a similar moment once... when my gynecologist asked me during a pap smear when will I start thinking about children? It would be the perfect time for my body.

I nearly jumped from the chair. That was when I was 25, still in university.

äh... replace to with you

Oh man! That would freak out most 25 year olds! Doctors say strange things at strange times, don't they?

I hope you're results are OK! And that in future you'll be a better person and get yourself checked out regularly. The world needs Ants!

Thanks friend! So far, so good. I'll evidently get whatever results there are to be gotten on Tuesday when I go back.

[antof9]

Yes, I do, and thank you for that reminder!

So far, they may have reassured me TOO well that "it's probably nothing" because I'm pretty ok with it for now. Of course, I'm also mostly avoiding thinking about it :)

Don't feel guilty - just go ahead and make the appointment. Guilt doesn't do anything but make your stomach hurt.

If you don't feel that "getting old" thing, that's good :)
