If you haven't guessed by now, I recently had a doctor's appointment for a physical. During that appointment, my doctor was surprised to see I haven't had a mammogram since 2007 (that was my first ever). Of course, I wasn't surprised. I consider it an accomplishment if I can schedule the doctor's visit. I'm not very good at scheduling things in advance, and a doctor's visit usually needs to be scheduled at least a month or two in advance. Since I'm the family taxi, I have several schedules to keep track of. The past few years have been a bit full of events--black belt exam, a first Communion, a Confirmation, dance and film classes, trips to Europe that required my husband and me to take Marina for a passport, working papers for Marina, college classes....you get the idea. We've been busy. I'm more surprised that I ever found the time in 2007 to get the base mammogram.
I always say it's important that we take care of ourselves. It is. And if I could go to one appointment every year where I had my physical, a mammogram, a gynecological exam and get my teeth cleaned all in one day, I would be more likely to make that appointment and keep it. Unfortunately, life isn't that simple. I find it much simpler to coordinate juggling five balls.
I did make an appointment for a mammogram. They were able to fit me in two weeks from my doctor's appointment. That's about as far into the future as I can plan. I like to live in the now.
