I'm trying to master it, but it's coming out as irritability.I have to have a colonoscopy, a special mammogram and some sort of intricate blood work and I feel your pain. I will not sleep for about 3 nights before the tests. I backed out last year and doctor is not happy with me. I'll dread it with you.
