Happiness is keeping my feet off the ground today. I received results from my MRI at the U of M Hospital.  Normal.  "Normal", they said. No areas to check with biopsy, only a followup in six months. After my appointment for a mammogram two weeks ago I was not exactly confident.  I went in for a mammogram.  Sat in the waiting room.  Returned for a more confining mammorgram.  Sat in the waiting room.  Went to another room for an ultrasound with a female doctor.   After of about 10 minutes of this doctor pushing on my right breast she asked another doctor to come in and check my right breast with the ultrasound.
