Breasts Unsquished, Fingers Uncrossed


I got a call Thursday morning from the radiology center where I was all set to do my annual, fear-inducing mammogram on Friday. They've had some kind of flood (we are rather far from Iowa so I don't quite get it) and the mammogram equipment is soggy, so the woman on the phone was calling to reschedule me. For some time in August.

"Nope," I snapped, "not gonna work. I had breast cancer and I'm not going to wait that long for my check up."

It's moments like that, when you hear your voice sounding like Linda Blair's in The Exorcist, that make a gal realize just how tense we get around mammo time.

I got a new appointment on the first of July.

Lots of book doings and more coming up. Here's a link to an interview I did with my old friends at GMA.

TALKING HEAD HERE
