Granny's gone and done it again

Oh dear. I keep leaving certain things out.
I have this..
White matter disease, or leukoaraiosis, means there is damage to white matter in the brain. It can lead to problems with thinking, problem solving, balance, and other symptoms.

Sounds like I might have that!

Funny... But not funny! Lol

It was funny later. Like the time I got stuck in an elevator.

Maybe not quite as humiliating?

When my sister found her lump(on her own) the Dr said not to worry it's likely an infection from a tick bite.. One of her friends had just passed from breast cancer. She went to a different Dr and was diagnosed with cancer.

And how did he think she got a tick bite there???!!! I wouldn't go back to that doctor for anything!

Ooh yum, gotta try that! Might substitute artichoke for the hearts of palm.

I had a second cousin who was big on the LPGA circuit who found a lump in her breast (years ago, 1980's maybe) her dr said no worries ... she ultimately died of breast cancer. Her younger sister also later had breast cancer and ultimately so did her dad, my cousin. You have to advocate for yourself. They have better diagnostics now, even for dense tissue, 3D scans I think. The scans are not so painful any more. Did I tell you I got stuck in a machine once? The tech got me all smooshed up and ready to scan and then the power went out. She left to go find someone to fix it and I was left in that awkward and uncomfortable position for about 15 minutes. Yup, it could only happen to me!

That might be funny now, but what an ordeal!!!

I'm going to have to make that. It looks delicious.

Well it wasn't funny at the time either, I really needed to pee! That took about 45 minutes, I'm guessing, before they got it about halfway between floors and I was able to crawl out and make a run for it. Neither situation was particularly humiliating, just... awkward, inconvenient, annoying, frustrating ... I think what I felt most of all was impatient, lol.

Yummy

I'm good then because there is no family history of cancer and I breast fed babies. Mamogram is one of the worsts tests that women have to experience, in my opinion. Right up there with PAP tests. I know men have prostate tests that are invasive too.

Not too much anymore for men. They have a blood test

I once had a granny and she was very naughty....

She often quietly push in front of a queue at check out and acted as if there was nothing wrong with what she was doing.... I walked way and pretended that she is not mine.

The people at the front of the queue saw this tiny granny and kindly let her behaves badly. I asked my granny what are you doing? She replied doing what?

Very naughty granny!!! And this happened to me at the bus stop, someone's granny quietly pushed herself in front of me queuing to get on the bus.....I was kindly let her behaving badly and other people behind me smiled. There is a benefit for being granny.

Go on Granny do it again!

Your funny!

They both sound like awful situations to me!
