so it wasn't hard to draw four vials of blood for the required tests. I also had a urine test and a "woman's test," which is always super exciting! Ha.
The exciting thing is that I am done with all of my necessary doctor and dentist and therapist appointments! Now I just have to wait for the lab results and then I can mail in all my documents and get an actual official invitation to volunteer.
I have been working a lot lately to try and come up with some extra cash for the doctors appointment, which turned out to be about $340 since I don't have insurance. But this morning I came to the happy realization that past Jessica had left a wonderful gift for present Jessica: a health savings account from my old job! Woah. That was so thoughtful of past Jessica. I'll have to thank her!
Side note:
I went to a nurse practitioner in Phoenix who was incredibly helpful and considerate. She took her time to make sure she was filling out all of the necessary sections in the Peace Corps paperwork and she was pleasant and professional. I have had a lot of doctors and even nurse practitioners in the past who have been quite unpleasant and rushed. If you are looking for some good healthcare in the Phoenix area, you may want to consider her as a primary care provider. Her name is Agnes Oblas and here is her website with contact and other info: http://www.newpathshealth.com/
I would give her two thumbs up!
Peace!
