Doctors

Today Micah and I had our physicals for moving to Saudi.  They started at 10:00am and we didn't finish until 3:00pm.  We had a short snack break in the middle but no real lunch break.  I have never felt so poked and examined in my life.  Just so that you can fully appreciate what I mean and so that my friends who get to do this in the future will be prepared, heres the run down of my day:

1. Physical- weighing, looking at ears, nose, throat, etc.  All the normal physical things

2. Woman Exam- thats all I have to say about that

3. Chest X-Ray- not really sure what that was about but it was pretty painless

4. 4 Viles of blood drawn- I'm not a fan of this so I had to look away and tell myself to keep breathing

5. Pee in a cup- pretty self explanatory

6. EKG- they hooked up a ton of electrical things, I kinda felt like a car.  FYI to friends, I was wearing a loose necked shirt and so I didn't have to take my shirt completely off so I would suggest you do the same

7. Hearing test- you sit in this little room with some headphones on. I did very well ;)

8. Vision Test- I passed with 20/20 but just barely.  I was straining to read the last line

9. SHOTS-  This ended up being the worst part.  I got SIX (6) shots! Micah received 5.  My arm is very sore from my tetanus.  

                                                   

I thought all these shots laid out looked very scary so I asked for permission to take a picture.  I can say that all our nurses and doctors were very nice.  Micah and I were able to see each other in passing and ended the day with a bonding experience of having our shots together. Good luck to all my friends who have to do this physical soon!
