Modern Medicine

I'm still not quite used to the 21st century in some ways. I had my annual mammogram today, and it took all of 10 minutes. The commute was at least three times that, as I had to take a crosstown then uptown bus to the medical center (and the uptown was in the middle of gridlock, just like my homebound express bus), but I was so astounded by the quick in-out and the lack of discomfort that I completely forgot to apply the deodorant I'd brought for afterwards. It wasn't as bitter cold as it had been on Tuesday, but it's supposed to plummet again this evening, which makes me feel bad for Robin who has his own medical appointment tomorrow morning. Oh, and my left big toe is hurting like the dickens. Not the Dickens, in keeping with the season, just... well, you know...
