Putting my boobs to bed

STRESS_BOOB_S_2 Or at least I am putting by boob issues to rest.

Today, I had an ultrasound mammogram, the second in a series that has included many exams, lots of phone calls to insurance and scheduling desks, and innumerable worries. Lying on the table covered in warm goo, I closed my eyes and did a meditation. Inhaling prana, the breath of life. Exhaling any toxic, eating worry. It was out of my hands.

Within minutes, it was done and the doctor was reviewing all of my films and ultrasounds slides.

"There's not a thing here," he said. "You are completely clear."

I exhaled sharply. I didn't even realize I was holding my breath as he clicked through the computer, the meditation welling up in me until it had to escape.

He shook my hand, told me to come back when I turn 40 and to take good care.

I am going to do that. I swear. I swear on my empty boobs, full heart and deep breaths, I am going to take good care.

I can't think of a better birthday gift than to finally -- finally -- let this worry go.

I'm glad your tests came back ok!!! I had the ultra sound done to and although it was painless, it was uncomfortable! I'll tell you..there is a mammogram and then there's ANOTHER mammogram where they pin-point one area and SQUEEZE!! I don't mean a nice squeeze either...the tech said, don't breathe and I'm thinking, are you kidding me, you've just sucked the breath right out of my lungs! OH MY GOSH! I was mad that she had caused me that kind of pain when I had never done anything to her...GEE WIZZARD! I said, well, I won't be back for another one of these! I took my BOOBS and LEFT!janhttp://papercraftpleasures.blogspot.com
