[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
It's alway horrible when someone you respect does creepy things.
My root canal is scheduled for Tuesday. I keep reading that it doesn't hurt more than a filling but considering how the attempt to fill it went I'm dreading this. Plus it hurts more now.
Comcast trip rescheduled. There is something wrong on their end with the Internet speed. Last night the download speed dropped to 2.4 mbps.
askye, it's not bad. It takes longer, but it really doesn't hurt more than a filling when it's all over.
I think having my gums deep-cleaned was worse.
The only real pain is getting numbed. From there - they are just messing with the tooth and you can do your best to tune out to music or a movie (if they have the set-up - if not, bring your own headphones). Once they are done - the pain relief is immediate.
OK, ladies, I'm an hour and a half from my first mammo. I know they get squished, but can you tell me what to expect?
Gums are definitely worse. The most painful part for me is having my jaw open that long. If they will give you something to brace it it really helps.
Awkward and uncomfortable, mostly. And you will be glad you have boobs of a certain size.
Freezing cold office and machine, stickers on your nipples and any moles, technician placing them on shelflike things.
Well for me, it was never that painful, but it was awkward. For one thing, here they don't give you a gown, so you're walking into the room from the consultation room tits out. Other than putting your boob on the plate, it's the technician puts you and your boob into positions, which can be awkward. (Like arm holding the machine, leaning ever so slightly in on the right side.) The most it ever hurt was similar to the pressure on your arm when the blood pressure cuff is inflated, and it only takes a few seconds. They've had to retake mine, but they do it on the spot.
Your breast will be flopped/placed on a plate, then another plate will be lowered till it's squished mostly flat. This will pull on the tissues to various degrees of discomfort depending on the size and structure of your breast. Vertical and horizontal. You'll get a corner of the plate digging into your torso uncomfortably at various points.
