Take a deep breath.

"Does that hurt?" Asks my new breast friend -" That was maximum compression." If there had been any air in my lungs I would have had answered with one of these.

Yes. Just like chewing tin foil with old school fillings. What a little sparky pain?

A little bit -

Like when you slide down a ladder and catch your nose iAnd bang your shin on a rusty rung.

Nah.

I enjoy stuffing my buniony feet into four inch heels three sizes too small and running across a wet field on my tip toes. Backwards. Juggling a wet cat.

But all I could do was weakly nod and mouth I'm ok.

Being brave makes things go faster. That and I was in a tad bit of shock from what I could see on the screen.

I didn't rememeber eating a guitar pick. I do remember drinking sea monkey's. That was a gross salty accident. But how did all that end up in Ethyl? So many questions.

I tried to make small talk to distract myself but what really does one say to woman you have just met - come out to - who is rolling your nipple off to one side - without even having taken you to dinner first . At least I knew her name which s a step up from some of my lesbionic friends....

"SSSSooooo" I wheezed out in between smushungs "This must be a very difficult job. I know what I am looking at - you know what you are looking at and yet no one really knows do they..?" I think you are very brave to do this.

She stopped for a second and looked at me. Such kindness. I got all awkward again and started babbling.

"I am a teacher. I lost my Mom - well I mean I didn't misplace her - she died - of breast cancer. So I get - i have an understanding of how I feel. I am not afraid of what I see. Just curious. " I smiled weakly.

"Yes. It is very difficult. People are sometimes very scared. It is hard to keep them still. (taking the hint) It is hard to know you are causing people pain. But it is good to know that I can help. You got this. "

And then she yanked me forward and slammed the glass on poor Myrtle without missing a beat.

"Take a deep breath."

I found that hilarious. But there is no laughing becase that means moving and moving means a re-do.

And so does having a guitar pick and two sea monkeys in your images.

Take a deep breath indeed.
