December 15th, 2009 - Mammogram and Ultrasound

It was almost relaxing to leave the house at 7:00 in the morning with no kids in tow. I was off to my first mammogram and breast ultrasound. The ultrasound tech was extra quiet, which I enjoyed. I just layed there and let her do her thing. I didn't ask questions, mostly because I knew she wasn't qualified to officially read what she was finding, but also because I really didn't think there was a whole lot to discuss. Next, I was off to the mammogram. That was not as bad as I had thought it could be... more awkward, then painful. I did think it was a little weird the mammogram tech said my doctor would probably be contacting me no later then two days from the mammogram, but just brushed if off as that is what they tell everyone, but we all know doctors are too busy to get back that quickly. I'd decided if I hadn't heard back in a week, I'll call to find out what they'd found out. But I learned doctors do get back to you in two days if there is something serious going on.
