says the paddle to the breast. They've digitized the mammograms finally so hopefully the results will be quicker. Oh so they have a new way of making sure your nipples don't roll under by putting a little piece of flowery tape over them with a little gem in the middle (looks like something you'd buy at Adam & Eve). Of course afterward, I remember 'hmmm aren't I allergic to tape? Doesn't it glue to my skin? uh oh'

But because I had to go for that test, there was no way I could get back to the vet who called anyhow at 3 to say she was keeping Soul. I think that she didn't get back to office since she was out on farm calls.



Day Eighteen: Favorite non-warrior female character



Like I said before, rather than my absolute favorites ever I decided to celebrate as many of the female characters as I can that I've liked over the years. I did like Beverly Crusher. Oh, not at first, not until after she came back from where she was for the time she was off the ship. When I was a kid, I had wanted to be an astronaught doctor. By the time ST:TNG came on, I was in college and realized I would never be blasting around the earth in orbit but I could still be a doctor. Even in the 80's, there wasn't that many female doctors as role models. I was a little past the role model stage b y then but I enjoyed seeing a smart female doctor.

Extra water is a good thing for a horse. Unless it's standing in their stalls.

Rogue is nosing me. She wants something. She is making it difficult to type with her head under my arm.

I have had those little tape-y star things the last four times I've had a mammogram. I feel very weird, like my boob's been targeted or something.

Did Soul break his leg or do you know yet?

they seemed happy about it

snort

my tech called them boob jewelry

do not know

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Boob jewelry works.

seems like he needs a permanent room at the vets.

actually I always liked the doctor they had first on Next Gen. Something about Dr Crusher didn`t make me love her (maybe because she was wesleys mom?)

I'm not sure if your tech actually said it was to prevent the nipple from rolling under, but it sounds to me like that was a nipple marker for the film. We have to do the same thing when we simulate breast patients for treatment planning.

I'm kind of terrified of mammograms even though I don't necessarily have to have any for a few more years. Still. I hope the technology gets even better on them by the time I have to get one.

I hope Soul is okay!

Beverly Crusher! I liked her too. This makes me want to do a re-watch of my TNG DVD's.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

she did actually say that. Doesn't mean she's right mind you. I would have assumed it was a nipple marker too

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

honestly, I don't find them that bad then again I've had to have them since I've been 25.

I don't know yet.

I've been rewatching it on BBCAmerica

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes he does.

actually crusher was first. then she left and we got Pulaski

"For years and years they told me,
Be careful of your breasts.
Don't ever squeeze or bruise them.
And give them monthly tests.

So I heeded all their warnings,
And protected them by law.
Guarded them very carefully,
And I always wore my bra.

After 30 years of astute care,
My gyno, Dr. Pruitt,
Said I should get a Mammogram.
"O.K," I said, "let's do it."

"Stand up here real close" she said,
(She got my boob in line,)
"And tell me when it hurts," she said,
"Ah yes! Right there, that's fine."

She stepped upon a pedal,
I could not believe my eyes!
A plastic plate came slamming down,
My hooter's in a vice!

My skin was stretched and mangled,
From underneath my chin.
My poor boob was being squashed,
To Swedish Pancake thin.

Excruciating pain I felt,
Within it's vice-like grip.
A prisoner in this vicious thing,
My poor defenseless tit!

"Take a deep breath" she said to me,
Who does she think she's kidding?!?
My chest is mashed in her machine,
And woozy I am getting.

"There, that's good," I heard her say,
(The room was slowly swaying.)
"Now, let's have a go at the other one."
Have mercy, I was praying.

It squeezed me from both up and down,
It squeezed me from both sides.
I'll bet SHE'S never had this done,
To HER tender little hide.

Next time that they make me do this,
I will request a blindfold.
I have no wish to see again,
My knockers getting steamrolled.

If I had no problem when I came in,
I surely have one now.
If there had been a cyst in there,
It would have gone "ker-pow!"

This machine was created by a man,
Of this, I have no doubt.
I'd like to stick his balls in there,
And see how THEY come out.

[Note - been around for a couple of years now, without attribution - ed.]"

I had a baseline mammogram done on my 30th Birthday, and afterward I quite literally snarled at my doctor that that would be THE ONLY one EVER done..so he bloody well better be happy with that one. Poor Doctor Abella actually turned pale and backed up a few steps when I snarled at him.

There has *got* to be a better way!!!!

How is Soul doing?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

eh I have no problems at all with the mammogram. It's not like it hurts terribly.

Soul as it turns out is fine

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

I have a high pain threshold...but THAT was too much. Have very sensitive breasties as it is, heck I don't even like touching them...beyond getting them slung into a bra! So I strongly identify with the poem. It is just WRONG to smash them around like that! WTF!!!!!!

So what exactly was wrong with Soul?
