Mammograms, hotels and driving.

[Guest guest]

Hello all, (particularly any newbies) welcome and good luck on your

journey. As a quick note, you will probably not need a mammogram if

you are under 35 as they normally want a baseline between 35 and 40.

I am 34 and it was not required.

As for hotels...I highly suggest the Hawthorn Suites although they do

not have a pool. It is only $55 with the medical rate and was really

nice. Having two rooms and an actual living room was really great.

It is close to a grocery, lots of places to eat, a nail place (yep

got my nails done) and a Kinkos which has computers. You would need

a car though to get you to the hospital and clinic and other

attractions.

Also I have seen questions about driving...my mom and I drove to NC

from Indianapolis and I did help with the driving on the way home. I

had to take care of the mountains because my mom is a wimp (hi mom)

and I did not really have a problem. I wore my TED hose and really

just found that I could not get comfortable. However, I think that

is due more to my mom's car than anything else. Be careful and be

safe, we are all different.

Finally, as a note, I have tried several new things although I am

still mostly on liquids, and all seem to go down well. Mashed

potatoes were great as were mashed sweet potatoes (both from Boston

Market) and today I tried a little scrambled egg. Hello to my

littermates, I hope you are doing well!

By the way....inches and inches of snow in Chicago and it is STILL

coming down. Flights cancelled, school letting out early, horrible

conditions. Enjoy that mild NC weather while you can.

Mara,

Thanks for the information. I am still learning. What are TED hose?
