How I Spent the Morning of My 30th B-day

I spent my morning reading this book while waiting for my turn to get a mammo. The imaging center I went to was really nice and had more of a spa feel to it than a hospital. There were fountains in the lobby and I was given I nice robe to wear while in the waiting room outside the imaging rooms. I even had the option of tea and coffee with cookies to eat while I awaited my own private torture session. See the little stickers? Had to use those to mark parts. The people were actually really nice and all went well. It hurt- but I got a clean bill from the radiologist and advice to do monthly breast self-examines as well as follow up with my doctor.

As for the book- it is really good- and I suggest everyone pick up a copy and educate themselves on some of the realities of immigration to the U.S.
