Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to get a mammo (I have been forgetting to) and the sticker thing is news to me. Perhaps I will bring my own stickers?!
I think I've heard it's worse for small breasted women to get mammos than we ladies with the melones grandes?

They are Special Medical Stickers.
I will say, I don't know how people with very little breast tissue actually do get it in there.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've never had a mammogram (I know, I know) because I'm very scared of it. I'm afraid the machine won't stop and it'll crush my tit. I'm afraid anxiety will make me light-headed and I can't sit down, and then I'll faint and fall down and rip my tit off. Seriously, this is what I'm scared of. Can that even happen? Do they leave you all alone in there with the squishy machine?

Because books.
I've never had one either, Zen, and I really should at my age.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The technician is there with you during the process. For me, the painful part was having the machine pressing against my sternum.

Yeah, the sternum press is obnoxious. The pressure of the plates squishing the tit can be uncomfortable. But you are not alone, and the tech is standing right next to you. I imagine there's an emergency release if needed.

Zen, you should be able to take an anti-anxiety med before a mammo. My doc prescribed a Valium before I got this bump excised from my arm, and that required a local.

When I had it, the tech was awesome -- she had a great manner, designed to make you feel comfortable (also she apologized at every step). She positioned the plates and my body parts by hand while she stood touching me, until everything was in the right places. Then she walked to the other side of the room to hit a button or whatever, and then she came back. Very little risk of machines going berserk, and none at all of you being left alone.
