Subject: RE: Declutter and Fitness in early 2014
From talking with friends and your comments here, I think my recent mammogram experiences are soooooo much better than everyone else's!
Granted, I've had those "worse than the dentist" experiences in the past, but since I've started going to Women's Life Imaging in Somersworth, NH, the experience has been entirely different.
First of all, the johnnies are big enough to cover me up. The room has low lighting, and the equipment they use not only is pleasant room temperature, but I don't have to get into all sorts of physical contortions for them to get the shots they need. They seem to squeeze with the least necessary pressure -- I've never found it uncomfortable. The tech (and everybody else) is friendly and even takes time to explain why I have a large deep lump in my right breast (and what its composition is) from a seatbelt-caused hematoma about 8 years ago. (When I had two cars totalled in two weeks.)
I actually look forward to my mammograms. Oh, it's also the first place in the Seacoast to offer 3D mammography. And it's a nice drive over there on mostly back roads.
