Through the Whirly-Twirly Marshmallow Forest

First person to tell me the name of the movie my title is from wins....my admiration!

My brain is fuzzy. Lack of sleep. Much emotion.

Last week I found out my thyroid meds are not working so well anymore. It just involves a change in dosage, but explains my excessive emotions lately. I've been crying at the drop of a hat and getting a snippy with people as well. Not how I want to be. Hopefully my body will figure this out with the new dosage and regulate.

Yesterday, at my annual exam, my doctor found some irregularity in my breast tissue. Dense tissue was the exact wording. That along with some pain caused her to order a mammogram and an ultrasound. Dense breast tissue is sometimes difficult to spot disease in, which is why the ultrasound. I'm feeling pretty freaked out right now. Better today since yesterday i couldn't speak, but still scared. Yes, it may be nothing, but it might be something. And I am really nervous. I have the most amazing friends though. Really. Three of my good friends have offered to come with me to my visit. Mark would, but he has to be available to pick the Princess up from school. It would alarm her too much to be picked up by someone else, and really, I don't want my kids to have any idea of anything.

In the midst of processing this information, the teenager had his wrestling meet yesterday. He wrestled the 2 time state champion and was really nervous since he has never wrestled before. He was all prepared to lose. Mark and I were not able to be at the meet, but my brother, who is awesome beyond all awesomeness, went to watch. And he called me after the meet all choked up with pride. The teenager won. He won soundly. He pinned the guy in less than a minute. He won the meet for his team. My brother said that all the other players were yelling and screaming the teenager's name before the match and then yelling really loudly as he won. The teenager was thrilled, of course, and we were so filled with pride. Now, was this beginner's luck, or a sign of things to come? I don't know, but I do know that last night, when i needed some cheering up, that did it for me.

I say you bring us all with you. The Mammogram Entourage. ;)

And I was talking to our property guest this morning and she had kind of the same thing happen to her a few years back (she's 45) - dense breast tissue that tends to be cystic and had to get the first mammogram when she was 35. And guess what? She was okay. So keep your chin up girlfriend. *hugs*
