Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there's no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week preceeding the exam, and doing the following practice excercises, you will be totally prepared. AND... you can do them right in your own home !
Excercise #1.
Open your refrigerator and insert one breast between the door and the main box. Have one of your strongest friends slam the door shut and lean on the door for good measure. Hold the position for 5 seconds (while holding your breath). Repeat again.. in case the first time wasn't effective enough.
Excercise #2.
Visit your garage when the temperature of the garage floor is just perfect. Remove your clothes and lie comfortably on the floor with one breast wedged under the rear tire of the car. Ask the friend to back the car up until your breast is sufficiently flattened and chilled. Turn over and repeat for the second breast.
Excercise #3.
Freeze two heavy metal bookends overnight. Strip to the waist. Invite a stranger into the room. Press the bookends against one of your breasts. Smash the bookends together as hard as you can. Set an appointment with the stranger to meet again next week, and do it again.
CONGRATULATIONS ! You now have nothing to worry about when you go for your first mammogram !
