Many thanks to everyone for the thoughts and well wishes. It truly means the world.

To paraphrase Douglas Adams, it's no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase "As comforting as a hospital" appear.
Other than the fact that my left boob is sore as hell, I have no results from yesterday's squishing and mashing to report. Technicians can't say a damn thing about the images they see. I did sneak a peek at the ultrasound screen and when I asked the tech what the black spots were that she was measuring, all she could say was "Irregularities". So I have to wait until my mid-September appointment with my doctor to get the results of the squish-and-mash as well as the bloodwork.
And while I am not an especially patient person, I'm also not willing to count the days or to play the what-if game and scare myself. There's nothing I can do right now, so I think I'll do nothing. School starts in thirteen days (eeeeeek!) and since I have not touched a course of study or lesson plan all summer, I have more than enough to keep me occupied.

Ladies, feel your boobies. Better yet, get someone else to do it...it's way more fun!
I am volunteering right now to feel up any bloggers... for health reasons only... except Bayne.. even I have my limits.
I figured you wouldn't get the results back for a while. So, I would do the same thing and put it right out of my mind.
Wow - it's the end of summer already? It seemed like just the other day when you were telling us that it was the last day of school! Sheesh!
