Monday Mammo Update

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Well, you all know that I was terrified of having my mammo this morning (I certainly whined about it enough!) and all I can say is "WHEW!" I'm glad it is over. I don't find them painful, maybe a bit awkward, my dread is just from the "what if's" (as in what if they find something!) Fortunately, today's was smooth sailing. They didn't even have to do any extra views or ultrasounds this time (last year they did and I just about jumped out of my skin thinking something was wrong!). I'm guessing it may be b/c they have my records from last year whereas last year, the films they had were from my initial screening mammo that was done at age 36 or so (and those were the old "x-ray" types, whereas last year's and this years' are both digital). Anyway, just glad it is over! I did have to re-schedule my physical which was scheduled for tomorrow b/c I want to go on a field trip w/ my daughter's

class. But I have it rescheduled for Nov. I'll be glad to be all caught up with these appointments! :)My only disappointment of the day is when I went to WalMart to treat myself to a new workout DVD they didn't have any that I wanted! They did have some of the newer 10 Min Solutions (Amy Bento's, Hip Hop, etc.) and 10 Min Solution Kits (the dance one w/ the weighted belt and the kickboxing one with the weighted gloves), and I almost caved on the kickboxing one - but, I don't need any extra handweights right now and I'm really not ready to try kickboxing again just yet (and have plenty at home to chose from when I'm ready!). Last time I tried kickboxing I messed up my back so I'm waiting a few more months before I try it again. So, no new workouts for me! However, I did stop at TJ Maxx and I picked up Tough Tape 2, Upper Body, Standing Legs and 5 Day Abs for $2.99. I'm happy with that as I would like

to whittle down my VHS collection. That said - is anyone interested in VHS copies of TT2, Upper body or Standing Legs? If not, I'll probably donate them to the library to sell at their used book sale in the future. It seems impossible to get trades for VHS anymore.

I did not workout this morning, I have a chest cold and wasn't feeling up to par when I got up (plus I had pre-mammo jitters). Hope to get back at it tomorrow.

Take care!Donna
