Mammogram Haiku
here’s a reminder:
get your yearly mammogram
schedule yours today!
Today’s the day – – it’s a squeeze and press kind of morning here in middle Georgia, and I will step bravely up to the cold metal instrument of torture and try my best to relax my shoulder as the images of my left and right breasts are taken. I will breathe, count to three, pray, and think of all the fun I was having a week ago from today as we drove through Cade’s Cove to see bears and other woodland animals, and how a prayer brought a bear and her two cubs right across the road in front of us. What a great morning that was!
Metaphorically speaking, I hope there are no bear sightings today, but if there are, I pray they are tiny little cubs that are caught early.
That is always the hope and prayer of a mammogram, and I send that one up today.
It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Have you had your mammogram?
