Good News!

So, I don't have TB! Which I knew already but it was nice to have it confirmed. Once I FINALLY got to see the doctor (I'll tell that story in a minute...), he said that my x-ray was clear, and since my reaction was so small (12mm), he didn't see any reason for me to take medicine. If I ever start having any TB symptoms in the future then I need to go to my doctor, but he didn't even think I needed a yearly x-ray. So thank you for all your prayers, because they were definitely answered!

So...the doctor. I was told that the doctor came at 9AM, and it was first come first served so I needed to get there early. I worked it out with school so I wouldn't have any classes until 10:20 so I could have my appointment. I got there at 8:40 and there were 3 people ahead of me so I figured I was doing pretty good. However, the doctor didn't get there until 9:50! I don't understand why doctors think nobody else is as important as they are. So, even though there were only 3 people ahead of me, I had to call my school and re-arrange yet another class because the doctor was so late. I didn't end up leaving the health dept until 10:50, so I was almost late to my 11AM class. Ggrrr. Luckily I'm hopefully done with all that so we can concentrate on the actual adoption stuff.

One more thing, NAR (Not Adoption Related). So I got a flat tire on the way home from work. :( That was the first flat tire I have ever gotten in my entire life, so I had no idea what to do. Called my insurance but they only provided reimbursement if I had to use a tow truck. Then I called Nate and he had great plans to talk me through the tire change, but luckily someone took pity on me. I got a little nervous because I thought it was just 2 guys in the truck at first, but then I realized one was a woman, and they had 2 kids in the backseat. The husband had my tire changed within 5 minutes and I was very grateful. I know God was with me during that ordeal because when I got back in the car on my way home there was a thunderstorm warning for the county I was in, but I never saw a raindrop.

Our next step is to get our background checks and child maltreatment checks returned so we can begin our home study. Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do to rush these, so we are at the mercy of whomever does those.
