make mammograms fun

To make getting a mammogram done less painful, a group of us go together and have it done in one afternoon. After all of us are finished, we go out for dinner and pick a different place each year.

I make the appointment for all 8 of us in the spring for a fall squishing. By one person making the call, that eliminates 7 people phoning in or procrastinating about phoning in. Also by going out for dinner after, we can concentrate on that part of the day, not the squishing. The screening clinic has been very co-operative in booking us all together.

My doctor thinks I am crazy for thinking about this but he does admit it is a good plan.

Thx for listening.
