I am Too Young for This

Today was my annual checkup with the OB/GYN. It's not that it went badly, but I do have to go back for an ultrasound (and not the fun kind, like when I was pregnant), get a mamogram, and go for genetic counseling. My mother had breast cancer before age 45 and I am in a high risk group, so the doctor wants to get more info. It's not that I am paranoid that I have anything, I just don't want to face the stress of having to go through all these tests. Honestly, I didn't think that I would be doing this until I was at least 40!! I tend to be a bit of a worrier, so having to wait a week for the ultrasound will be tough.

The positive thing that came out of this visit, was a referral for a PCP. So ladies who need the name, just let me know. Also, it prompted me to get the kids physicals on the books before it is too late. Plus I remembered to book LD's re-check for her ears. Hopefully she will get the "all-clear" next week and we don't have to worry about the possibility of tubes.

Oh - and the OB/GYN said that it is not necessary for me to have a bone-density test that me old PCP suggested (remember "SUPERDOC" from my previous post "A Good Doctor is Hard to Find". What a dope!

It's a good thing that the "cookie fairy" left me cookies in LD's cubby at daycare - I will really need one when I get home!
