Yep, Boobies, Too

Gosh, I give myself such a fright sometimes. I was checkin' out the ol' boobies when I felt something suspicious. I checked again. Yes, I definitely felt something. I know you're supposed to check them AFTER your cycle. I, of course, chose right in the middle of my cycle to feel myself up.

Was my mind playing tricks on me? Did my hormones temporarily do something? Was my doctor going to congratulate me (AGAIN) for discovering another rib? "Your boobies sit right on top of them," he explained to me a few years ago. I decided not to let it weigh on my mind. I made an appointment.

I had peace. Then I had lots of crazy messed up thoughts. Up until this point, I hadn't shared this information with anyone. I think I discovered "it" on Friday and lulled it over in my mind all weekend. Leaving everyone to wonder once again why I was being such a moody bitch. Luckily, it WAS my moody bitch time of the month already, so no one noticed anything.

The first available appointment was today at 2:30 in the afternoon. I finally told Eric because he was going to have to watch the kids. He seemed completely unaffected by my slightly alarming news. He might have even walked away after me telling him.

Then he says,
"So what doctor are you going to?"
I'm slightly puzzled by his question.
Me- "Uh, Dr. H. My OB/GYN?" (Helllooo? The guy that delivered our two daughters? Remember him?)
Eric (with a surprised look on his face)-"Oh, he does boobies, too?"
"Yep, he does boobies, too."

I told Dr. H this very story today as he was squishing my boobies around. He didn't find anything (Thank you, GOD!), but he did make me feel my ribs. "These are ribs. This is where your breast tissue begins... Here, feel it?" "Yes, I feel it."
