Gentle reminder

[mrissa]

It's that time of year again. Being a responsible adult who checks up on her reproductive health is such a bitch.

So while I head off for the medical equivalent of eating a live toad before breakfast, I'd just like to remind you female-people that monthly breast self-exams are a really, really good idea. I do them. I'm deeply grateful that my mom and grandma do them, too. I already lost one grandma this way. Cancer has no respect for age or cup size or prose quality. If you don't know how, your doctor will show you, or go here to get the Komen Foundation's version. No excuses.

While I look forward to the virginity book, I think I'll take my doctor, who has a hennaed bob and a low chuckle, over the muttonchop dudes any day. My doctor rocks. (I had positive feelings about her anyway, but I think sheer relief at not having a horrible experience makes me a feel warm and fuzzy about her. Or maybe it's the prospect of Whatever I Want, Dammit for dessert that's improving my mood.)

Ugh. I have to make my appt. *whine*

You would think with all the work they just did with my surgery....that this would not be necessary. They could have tortured me in one or two visits...but now we have to do the third. *more whining*

Like the toad part though. =)

The toad is the way to go. It's now 10 a.m., and my day is almost certain to improve.
