And so it goes

There are times that we all have, that we may have an inkling, or a feeling about how things turn out, how things will be.

We all have intuition, be it good or bad. Our intuition is not always spot on, and sometimes can easily be confused by our own fears, or frustrations, or wants.

I went for my mammogram. Its not a horrible test to go through, but as I had mentioned, I wasn't really worried about the test itself, I was more worried about the results. I don't have any results yet, I was told I should be able to know by Tuesday.

I did do some research online, not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it seems to me that the standard amount of images taken for a mammogram is 4 shots (2 of each breast). Which is what I had, initially.

I stood how the technician asked me to (who confidentially made me feel very very comfortable, and she was very accomodating and very warm) She took the 4 initial images, and said to me something along the lines of "have a seat and wait here, Im going to check to make sure that the images came through ok" which I knew would happen. I also knew that if any of them were unclear, the images would be re-shot until they are readable and clear.

The technician came back to my room, with 2 more films, and said OK, I need to take a couple more images. I thought maybe something was unclear, but she said no, they needed to take 2 more images at different angles.

Which she took, and I waited again.

She informed me that I will probably be called back in for more tests, but my doctor would have all of the results on Tuesday, and I should talk to her then.

Now I wait.
