Just between us girls! http://www.c-boom.com/images/between_girls.jpg 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 always wore a bra. After 40 years of careful care The doctor found a lump. He ordered up a mammogram To look inside that clump. "Stand up very close," she said, as she got my breast in line. " And tell me when it hurts," she said " Ah, yes! There! That's just fine." She stepped upon a pedal, I could not believe my eyes! A plastic plate was pressing down, My boob was in a vise! My skin was stretched and stretched From way up by my chin. My poor breast was being squashed To Swedish Pancake thin! Excruciating pain I felt, within its viselike 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 smashed in her machine, I can't breath and weary I am getting. "There, that was good," I heard her say, as the room was swaying. " Now let's get the other one". " Lord have mercy," I was praying. I had no problem when I came in, I surely have one now. If there had been a cyst in there, It would have popped by now. |

“Sometimes it’s easy to feel like you’re the only one in the world who’s struggling, who’s frustrated, or unsatisfied, or barely getting by. But that feelings a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day and someone, or something, will find you and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes. Someone to help us hear the music in our world. To remind us that it won’t always be this way. That someone is out there, and that someone will find you.” - from One Tree Hill |
“You may as well memorize this sentence now: If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” – Wendy Robbins
