Finally, after multiple weeks of delays, I got my last filling, got all my dental paperwork filled out, got my X-rays, printed and copied everything I needed to.... and.... my medical packet is in the mail today!

Phew. Now for more waiting. And studying French. J'espere que ta tante va mieux. Je resterai probablemente a la maison pour faire la cuisine. J'adore les fetes.

My fingers will be staying crossed for months.

I've been slacking on keeping this updated. I got all my lab results back and I am a normal, healthy, apparently disease free human. I also recently got my lab test bill back and I am a soon-to-be-nearly-broke-unless-my-insurance-pulls-through-for-me human.

I was supposed to have my last dentist appointment 3 days ago, which is my last hurdle in sending out my med packet, but I have been mildly sick and figured coughing all over my dentist whilst he drills my tooth is a poor thing to do. So on Wednesday, 3 days from now, I will have my last filling, collect my X-rays, and send off my magical packet of health to the Peace Powers That Be.

I also have to complete one minor essay about my mental fitness that I have managed to put off writing for a good month and a half.

'Spose I otter etudier francais maintenant.

and on and on...

Wednesday: My first doctor's appointment that lasts a thilling 2 hours. Lots of poking and prodding. I got three shots: TB test, polio vaccine and tetanus vaccine.

Thursday: First dentist appointment. My teeth are pretty awesome for not having been to the dentist in 2 or 3 years. Unfortunately, my occasional soda habit has caught up to me and I have three cavities. One of them is under the filling I've already had put in twice.

Friday: My second dentist appointment. I get 2 out of 3 fillings done, including the one I have to have redone. That one may turn into a root canal. Ugh, I hope not. Having a totally numb lower mouth is fun. I keep trying to whistle but I can't.

Saturday: Go back to the clinic to get my TB test read. My nurse turns out to be an RPCV from the Solomon Islands, Rural Education and Development. Awesome.


On Monday I have to go get blood drawn and sent off. I get my last filling and potentially a root canal on Feb 12. Hopefully after that I will have everything in the mail!! So I can wait 3 months more... :)

I have my doctor's appointment on wednesday and my dentist appointment on thursday. Hopefully I can get in touch with my old doctor this week, too, meaning that everything is at the very least off the ground. I feel like I probably could have gotten to a lot of this a week sooner if I had tried a little harder. Oh well. I am getting it done now.

I got a call from the National Passport Center on Friday, unfortunately, the lady I needed to talk to left her office at 1:30 EST. Which was 11:30 am here. Roops. She called back today when I was walking to work. Apparently, she was unsure about my address. I assured her that General Delivery is my address, and I live in a very small town. Yay, I'm getting my passport soon!

I faxed my "eyglass" prescription form to my optometrist on Saturday. Nothing back yet, I'm guessing my Dr. is vacationing or something.

The Student Health Center should be open again today, so I will call them and ask about getting my immunization records and stuff sent to me.

Studying French off and on. I downloaded a bunch of french music and rap to listen to. I love french rap. It cracks me up. And is also awesome.
