I think she meant, by "generational", that older women weren't as comfortable touching themselves? She referenced 80-90 year old women. But I haven't seen any studies on this.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969357513275063157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-36377195598492590332012-02-21T18:56:16.946+11:002012-02-21T18:56:16.946+11:00I know!

Great telling. And great massaging!...I second that! Great telling. And great massaging! I'm so proud! <br /><br />Seriously, a generational thing? I don't get it. I remember them putting a hot compress on me when I had that done. And it hurt--I think a 4 out of 10 is prob right. Mostly I felt insulted that they were sticking needles in me before the mastectomy. Sigh.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-73505051207572538332012-02-21T05:43:10.101+11:002012-02-21T05:43:10.101+11:00You are such a good storyteller that even this is ...You are such a good storyteller that even this is fun and interesting to read.

Those needles and a 4 on a 1 to 10 scale don't sound fun, but you DID have your big girl panties on didn't you? You are so good at telling a story that it's funny, scary, and interesting all at one time. SO glad everything went well.

Wah...I nearly did a spittake at Russian scientists. Wah!<br /><br />I'm certain that it was your massaging that made the difference. But what I want to know is, why didn't you get Jason on that?<br /><br />Any good magazines in the imaging waiting room? What's the Australian equivalent of a Country Living from 1997?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220334396409452136noreply@blogger.com
