Still pending medical clearance

I sent off my completed (or so I thought) medical and dental documents in the second week of February.
A couple of weeks ago, I got my dental folder back, asking for clearer bitewing x-rays. So I went back to the dentist and they hooked me up with the needed x-rays, free of charge since it was sort of their fault. I sent it back to them.
Last week I got a letter from the medical clearance desk asking for a missing Hep-B antigen test, which my doctor had somehow missed. It also asked for documentation on a tetanus shot within the last five years. So I went back to the doc, got the shot (since I don't know if I've had a tetanus shot recently) and the blood test. My doc called and said that I don't have Hepatitus-B, and that she's sending the docs in the mail. As soon as I get those, I'll fax them to the medical desk.
Today I received my dental packet AGAIN... I guess that my teeth #4 and #5 are showing some decay and I need to have fillings or something. I think this is pretty lame too, since I just got fillings in January on some other teeth, so why didn't they do 4 and 5 too? Well. I guess I have to go back and pay up. I canceled my dental insurance after I got my wisdom teeth out, so it might be expensive.
But it's a process. And there is perfection in the process...

Peace
