Yay, me! I have a mammogram scheduled for Friday morning. I'd like to say I can't wait, but boy howdy does that hurt! And I get very nervous about them since I had an issue show up a couple of years ago. The biopsy was good, but I still get all nervous until they tell me it's good.

And y'all know I saw my family doctor about a week ago because of THE PAIN THAT WON'T QUIT. We talked about the fact that I'm due for my next colonoscopy in May, and he said that it might not be a bad idea to call and get that moved up. So I had a delightful phone message on Friday from the gastroenterology office, saying the family doctor had called, and that I need to call them back. So I will call tomorrow, and I guess the dreaded prep is in the near future. A tad nervous about results, because of the pain. I've had it ever since the colon resection, but it's changed up somewhat. Don't want any status changes!

Hope everybody had a good weekend!

*hugs*
Gail

    Making mammos easier
    I find that stopping caffeine a few days before makes for a much less painful mammo. Just a thought....

    Can't offer solutions to the dreaded colonoscopy prep (tho I tend to eat very lightly in the days preceding the prep - makes it go easier.)

    Yes, I do that, too. Makes life much easier. It's also best to have the solution be very cold and drink it through a straw. Still ICK!
