I am doing fine! After five smashes to the right and two to the left, they sent me home and said the would see me in a year. Apparently my density changed and they wanted a closer look. The worse one was at the muscle which warranted the five smashes to the right. They used a smaller paddle this time and it didn't hurt like the large flat square. The tech was surprised because she said they get more complaints from the small paddle. Maybe the four Ibuprofin's I took helped. lol

DM, the hospital I go to now has digital mammo and it is great! I was able to see my films come up right away and we stood there comparing them. It also takes the pain away because your watching them come up on the screen as your being smashed. lol Glad to hear your feeling better today! No sudden spins OK?

Thanks for all your well wishes! Judy, I hope yours come out clean like mine did. Hugs!
