Well we continue to try and get our stuff together for the PC medical kit. Whew! What a chore. Mamogram can't be more than 6 months old. Mine? Well of course it is 7 months old. Had to get a new one this week. Now have to wait for the radiologist to read, make a report and get it to my GYN before I can get a copy. Oh yeah, and a new PAP smear report too. Let's see. Oh yeah. Was going through the paperwork against our checklist and discovered our Fam Pract guy forgot to give us copies of the urinalysis lab reports. Of course each of these things requires more waiting and more visits to offices far and wide around town. Maybe by next week we will have a complete package that we can then copy and get in the mail. It has taken us 2 months. (this included a colonoscopy! -- Ouch) Maybe the next posting will be the good news that we have copied and mailed our med packets. 8 )

Well, here we all are. Probably for the last time before we head out on our PC assignment. Kids are flung far and wide. When we return guess we will travel a lot just visiting to say hello!junehart

Well lots has gone on since last entry. We have been nominated for a tour of duty with the Peace Corps. Very exciting. Have been through interviews, fingerprinting, background checks, physicals (that feel as though they will never end), dental exams, eye exams and are anxiously awaiting our last dr visits so we can mail off our medical/dental package for review. IF we are medically cleared it look as though we will be heading to SubSaharan Africa. I will teach Science and John will teach IT. I sure do hope my assignment doesn't include teaching Biology - never took it in school. I am an analytical chemist!
A search of the PC Web page and description of each country's needs has led us to conclude that we may be invited to serve in The Gambia. Have been monitoring the blogs of a group of volunteers who arrived in The Gambia this past week. It sounds challenging but also exciting. They say it is hot and humid. But I would imagine after some time to aclimitize it should be OK. The oldest person in this group is 44 and a three time volunteer! That is pretty darn good if you ask me. Oh well, just two more doctor visits and we should be able to mail in our package for review. I can't wait!
