Okay, I know I'm getting older and today cinched it! I had my annual GYN appointment a few days ago. He wants me to go get a mammogram for baseline screening so that when I need to get regular mammograms - starting at about 40 years old - they'll know if anything is changing for the worst.
So, I go to Queen's today - their Women's Health and Wellness Center is really beautiful by the way (had my Ultrasound there too) - to get my mammogram done.
The machine is pretty non-threatening looking but man!! Basically, you have two ~ 8" x 10" plexiglas looking slabs on the bottom and top. You go in between. They took 4 pictures and since I'm smack against the machine I can see the pressure being placed on me. Each was about 45-49 pounds of squeezing pressure. It was OUCHIE!
Not looking forward to doing that again!

Another thing a woman must go through. That machine must have been invented by a man. They don't know how sensitive a breast can be. "Owwweeeee!!" is right!
