In just a few short hours I will be sending my baby girls
off to 2nd and 4th grade.
Nothing brings me greater joy.
This has been the most “boring” summer ever according to them. I have spent more hours at the pool than I
have sleeping, more hours than that cleaning up their messes and cooking them
meals. So come tomorrow morning, there
will be no choking on tears of sadness.
I will be rejoicing.
So how does a mother celebrate the end of a summer with her
wonderful children? With a MAMMOGRAM, of
course! And it gets even better! I will be topping off the morning with a
well-woman exam! The part I look forward
to the most is the drawing of blood.
Fasting, of course. And to top
that off, I will have a TB skin test for nursing school. It’s like a full-body cocktail of
rejuvenation. I will admit however that
I am a little nervous about this mammogram.
Not the procedure. That’s
easy. It’s the results that may be
frightening. This will be a comparison
to the December findings thereby determining if any significant growth has
occurred since that time.
