First I'd just like to say a big "Thank You", to everyone for their kind messages, emails and comments on my last little vent about my decrepit boobage. They were very much appreciated. I think I'd just reached the "you have got to be kidding me" point and needed to let it all out. Probably with a touch of too much information but hey, it''s not like it's the first time I've gone down that path. Just once I'd like to see a medical professional who says, "your [insert body part] is perfectly normal". Just once. Is that really too much to ask?
Apparently the answer to that question is a big fat, "YES".
I have decided I need to send an official letter of complaint to my parents to chastise them for their piss poor procreation efforts. I've said it before and I'll say it again, perfunctory sex is bad. Look at me. This is what happens when you put a decided lack of effort into your boudoir shenanigans. Yes Mum and Dad I am talking about you. I am the product of meh sex. Really that's the only explanation for a body which is dodgy at every level.
I went back to my GP today to get the formal results. Picture the scene. Nice clinic. Picturesque scenery in the beautiful moutains surrounding Melbourne. Tree ferns at the window. Rosellas and King Parrots flying through the air. Lovely GP, who I'd recommend to anyone, grabs the ultrasound report. Puts it on her knee. Looks up. Stares me in the face and says incredulously, "Oh my God".
Yep that's right. "Oh my God". Always a good start. Why yes my boobs have been busy as the long paragraphs of Time New Roman size 12 now officially report. Not content with one weed, or two, or three. My booby garden has popped out 10, yep 10, new and exciting varieties of weeds, not including my escapee bits of boob inhabiting my body from my knee cap to my ear lobe. Yes, yet again I am a reject.
I am grateful that they are not of the particularly noxious variety and can thus stay where they are for the moment. But geeze Louise, is it really that hard to have a normal body part? Apparently once more my decrepitude is of the gold medal variety. I have declined the kind offer of being poked with multiple needles in the boob and taken the "keep and eye on them" approach to management.
She did laugh when I said the radiologist had told me that my boob was a garden. Though she thought it had more of a "Swiss cheese" quality. I shall never look at a block of Jarlsburg the same way again. "Garden" or "Cheese", these are my choices.
I was also given more of a tsk tsking, and have been told that I need either 6mth or 12mth ultrasounds from now on. I also get to start the joy of mammograms at age 40. Though, as I have decided to stay 35 and will have "30faux" birthdays from now on, I may never have the joy of seeing my piklets squished between the vice of the mammogram. She did take the time to point out that the girls were of the more petite variety, because of course I hadn't noticed, and may be difficult to scan. Small, weedy, Mini Babybels, who aren't even up to the task of being squished. I am beyond expletives now, and am on the path of resigned sighs of acceptance with a side of defeat.
So yet again I am a resident of the quaint town of Freakville. If anyone knows where I can buy tequila by the gallon let me know. Home delivery would be a bonus.
Thanks
Michelle
