UPDATE: Health OT

[Yowie]

I've had my "mammogram". It wasn't actually a mammogram but an ultrasound
(apprantly i am too young to have a mammogram still). Whilst the lady that
did the ultrasound wasn't allowed to diagnose, and I haven't got the
radiologist's report yet, there seemed to be no sinister denser spots onthe
screen and she didn't seem to focus on one area in partcular. Besides which,
the pain has gone.

(I guess this ought to have a Dave warning). Perhaps this is TMI but I am
putting it down to a badly fitting bra. I hadn't been refitted since I had
stopped breastfeeding The Yowlet and figured it was about time to go and get
some new bras. I was delighted to discover I had changed from a 20DD to an
18E. Delighted because size 20 relegates you to the 'fat ugly old woman'
section whilst no matter what cupsize, a chest size 18 is still in the
'pretty frilly attractive' section. So, with much happiness I picked up 4
pretty, sexy, frilly new bras and was also somewhat amazed to discover that
with my new bras my breasts were no longer parellel with my belly button (or
close enough). Usually I dont' wear one particular bra day after day but for
some reason I kept wearing two that were of the same design (different
colour) and it seems that I bruised myself pretty badly with the underwire.
The underwire on a 18E is actually a smaller diameter than the one on a 20DD
and therefore despite looking good and 'fitting' as per the usual
requirements, it didn't actually fit my rib cage properly and clearly lifted
me up *too much*. Once I suspected this, I stopped wearing underwire
altoghter and went back to the totally unfalttering but much more
comfortable non-underwire bras and lo and behold, the pain went away.

I'm still going to Doc to get the results of the ultrasound, but I am no
longer worried stupid about my boobs.

Joel would prefer I don't mention whats going on with him in this forum, and
I'll respect his wishes. Best I'll say something that needs ongoing
management and treatment but its something to learn to live with, not die
from.

Thank you for the entertaining boob story, and I'm glad to hear that
they are both happy and healthy.

I'm also glad that Joel will be OK, and that neither of you have to
worry about anything life-threatening. Purrs for both of you to adjust
to dealing with it, but I'll bet right now you're both just glad the
news wasn't dire!

I'm glad you were able to stop worrying. I'm sure you're right about that.

Best wishes for Joel's problem, whatever it is.

You ladies may find this funny. My granddaughter age 12, asked me what a
mammogram was. She had heard they were pretty rough things to have. I
thought a moment and then told her it was sort of like laying down and
letting a car run over your boob whilst someone was taking pictures if it!
Then having to pay someone for the privilege of getting the pictures taken.

Thank you Matthew, given the above content I was sure there should be a wolf
whistle comming from someplace but, given the people in my town, wasn't
about to do it.

Yowie, glad all it well for you.

purrs on the way for joel. i've never understood how anyone can wear
bras with underwire - i've tried several and they're just horribly
uncomfortable.

Cgts on the ultrasound non-finding (we're hoping) and a manly
