Perspective: Galacto-whaaa?

NSwrites

When they said I needed a galactogram, I read up on it right away.

And then the anxiety hit. "They are going to put a WHAT in my WHAT?"

(Wire and dye in my nipple for a special mammogram, if you aren't aware.)

So when telling a friend about this, and I repeated "galactogram" a few times to her confusion, I blurted out, "A GALACTIC SUPER ADVENTURE!!!"

I decided: I am not having a galactogram. I am having a GALACTIC SUPER ADVENTURE and that's that. 😂

Anyway, it got me thinking. Does anyone else cope with humor when you're feeling frightened? Got any hilarious moments of perspective to share as we all await the results of our tests/super adventures?

WhenI first talked to friend about reconstruction of my right breast and I was explaining the surgery, her response was priceless. "I think I'd rather just be 'one down'."
