I Am A Sissy But I Did It........

I have never had a mammogram and everyone has a different opinion about them. From it feels like  a truck ran over you and smashed you flat to it don't hurt. When I heard my sister in law had to have a mastectomy for breast cancer it made me stop and think I needed to have  a mammogram. I have a pen pal who has breast cancer and will have to take pills the rest of her life.

My doctor called right about the time all of this was taking place and said a mobile unit would be at the doctors. That would be so much easier than having to go downtown or some place hard. I decided it was time and I done it last Friday. It was easy. It didn't hurt at all. A little pressure and that  was it. I was so relieved. Now I just have to wait for the results.

I done something else I never thought I would get done either. I got new dentures after 29 years. I am so afraid of dentists. It has been an ordeal. I went and got impressions. The next week was the wax bite which takes longer than the impressions. The next week you see the wax impression with teeth on them. A week later which was last Monday I got the teeth.

Then the trouble starts. I had to go back because they were not fitting right. Such pain. Now the weekend I am having to wait until Monday to go back again. I cant even wear them. They hurt so bad.

When I got my dentures 29 years ago an impression was done and that was it. A few weeks later got the dentures and never had to have adjustments or anything. They fit fine. These seem so heavy and thick and I don't know if I will ever get used to them.

Monday it is back to the dentist. Next Monday back to dermatologist. I have roscea and have to see if it is better after medication for it. That was inherited from my Dad. Two of my daughter have it too. Oh well things from my Dad are mild. He was pretty healthy and died at 92.If he hadn't drank he would probably lived to be 100.
