Medicals

  We had our medicals  and it all went fine all the other family's do not worry any about it. It was no big deal. Now I don't have all the technical terms for stuff and I don't even remember the Dr's specialties  but this is how it works.You go to this old building that is a hospital it was no shock to me all the buildings look like this here. You go in and check your coats. Then  you go into a office E talks to a lady then a Dr comes over and asks you questions medical  stuff no big deal. Then you go to a room where a lady looks at your eyes and check reflexes. Then go to another room to  get blood taken it was  no big deal I have really hard veins to find and she found it the first try. Then you go back to the office for tea and cookies and answer some questions on a form, questions like is it ok to steal? dumb stuff like that. I think 55 dumb questions lol. Then another lady comes and asks you questions about TB test and your chest. Then you go to another room all the way on the other side of the building where you get x rays on your chest. Now this is the fun room haha. The lady is really gruff she orders you around like a drill Sargent and you have no idea what shes saying so she gets irritated with you and just sort shoves you in to the wall of this x ray thing that you stand up on topless and it moves like a ride. haha that part starteled me I was standing there on this thing holding a deep breath with my arms up and my eyes closed and the thing started moving.. The drill Sargent yells you hold your breath! then you are done and she yells at you to get dressed! but you don't know shes saying that until  E comes to translate lol. ok then you go wait in the hall for the nice older lady that asked you the questions to give you the x rays and tell you if anything is wrong. Then you go up stares in this little elevator the size of a small closet  to another room.  Oh all these things you go in one at a time while the other one waits in the hall. So this next room you go in for an EKG the lady a really nice lady tells you to just pull up your top bra and all. she puts two clamp things that look like jumper cables on your ankles and two on your wrists. Then she takes these blue balls that have suction cups on the and puts them on your chest all around your heart. She tells you take a deep breath and hold it, then let it out and your done pull your top down and your on your way to the next room. The psychologist E told us to smile and don't look worried or he will ask us more questions. This guy was nice he had a little smile on his face as he asked the questions. I was not worried at all. I saw that he had our homestudy in front of him and he was asking us questions from it so make sure you read thru your homestudy before you go.The questions were  not anything hard. He asked about my siblings and asked mike about his dad being in the navy. He asked us both why we are adopting. You need to know your answer to this with out any doubt. It sounds like an easy question but when you are put on the spot it can be hard. I think we did fine he smiled and told us good luck.he didn't ask us anything about down syndrome. ok now this is the one that threw me off guard. We went in together there were three lady doctors they asked us questions about our skin and Cancer stuff like that. Then a guy around 20 or so with a bad mullet hair do comes in. I didn't think much of it until the lady doctor told us to take our shirts off. Then told me to come stand by her. Then told me turn around and the guy Doctor was then standing in front of  me. He told me lift my arms so I did. Then yep he did a breast exam on me,I was sorta shocked because I was told all the Doctors would be ladies I just had to think to myself he's a Doctor no big deal right. Mike and I laugh about it now but at the time it was not funny at all I was sorta mad about it because the fact that  I was told all the doctors would be ladies guess NOT! (another thing to show how much we are willing to do to bring home our boy)  then it was time to get dressed and we went back to the office for more cookies and tea, signed a paper and that was it. Besides the awkward breast exam everything was fine no big deal and E tells me in the car its usually a lady that does that she must have been out today. oh thanks choose the day I am there to be gone.haha!
