Entry by Jenn:
So, we both got our medical packets in the last blog. I got my appointments all set up and am now just waiting for it to all happen. I got my labs done today. It wasn't bad. They run a lot of lab work and took a LOT of blood there were 4-5 vials. That's a lot to me because I never get blood drawn. They test for TB, HIV 1, Complete Blood Count (CBC), Hep B surface antigen, Hep B surface antibody, Hep B core antibody, Hep C serology, G6PD, and take a urinalysis. You most recent pap smear for women is also included and must have been done within last 6 mos of labs. I will learn my results in my physical on 11/3. I also have my full dental on 10/26. Then we pack it all up and mail it to DC. Josh is working on setting his appointments, which will be harder because he does not have insurance now that he is out of college. We expect to have it all sent off within the week of my last exam on 11/3. I am still reading my book they sent in our info/ invitation packets. It has great stories and keeps me motivated that I'm doing the right thing because it is what I want to do in life. We will update when more happens!
