(God NO, on the last one, by the way...)<br /><br />Every time I go for a mammo, I'm greeted by the tiny tattooed chick who cheerfully yells, "I remember YOU! YOU need the BIG PLATES!" Every. Frigging. Year. She's like Abbey on NCIS, but with more tattoos - and inexplicably happier.<br /><br />I have never been given a nipple shield. I know they're used (my coworker told me about them), but I've never been given any. Maybe it's something to look forward to THIS time?!<br />rennratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258514296905380163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-62521710251913421522012-12-02T18:08:22.203-05:002012-12-02T18:08:22.203-05:00Susan, I kind of love your husband.

Diptheria, Yellow fever?? Can't remember, just did the whooping cough shot because I was going to see the grandbaby. It took 2 months & a few calls-- paperwork? What paperwork for reimbursement???<br />I had to go several layers in to find a fax #, but sent another set of copies. Oh so tempting to hit send 50 times & blame it on technology! Did ya get the paperwork NOW?<br />I learned when I quit my job on the 31st (halloween no less).... my insurance would end that day. Yet the final paycheck included a deduction for health ins for the month of Nov. I so wanted to pull back my letter of resignation & say No Wait! I resign tomorrow! So I am stuck in that no man;s land of health insurance now. But for $570 a month I could have COBRA coverage. Ummm no. So I am jumping the fiery hoops of ridiculous amounts of documentation to get on the husbands ins till mine kicks in in Feb w the new job. <br />No stirrups for me for now ! New ins says I must be signed up effective the very next day... so they will charge me for November coverage-- but will take 10 to 15 days to get me set up with ins. Sounds like I just got ripped off for a month & 1/2 of insurance I could not use.... but something is better than nothing. Scary to be suddenly out of insurance coverage as fast as you can turn in a resignation notice. <br />My mammo office has a sign posted: "We compress because we care." & launched a campaign-- "Make a date with "the girls"-- meaning schedule a mammogram. Of course some found it offensive.... <br />but the majority appreciated the humor & the campaign goes on. <br />No nipple shields for me ever.... what's up w that? Reminds me of Star Trek-- Hostile Aliens approaching--Shields Up!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-7106423204001064392012-12-02T04:44:14.639-05:002012-12-02T04:44:14.639-05:00Brava!

Throw in a manicure/pedicure, a fine dining establishment, and a hotel suite and the day would be complete.

He shouldn't have said that. A few weeks later when everyone in the department was in a meeting my husband and a friend occupied one of the exam rooms. He put on a lab coat and mask while she rolled up her pants legs, covered herself with the requisite sheet, and climbed into the stirrups. Disguising his voice, he called Maintenance for an urgent replacement light for the room. A few minutes later Bill knocked then opened the door to find Jer engaged with both hands under the sheet saying, 'Come over here. I need an extra hand with something weird I just found'.<br /><br /><br />susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-32552320471230967942012-11-28T13:05:38.510-05:002012-11-28T13:05:38.510-05:00But where's the photo of you in the paper gown...But where's the photo of you in the paper gown?
