Homestudy Medical Exams

Today Doug and I went to the doctor for our homestudy medical exams.  We ended up waiting an extra 45 minutes because it's snowing . . . For those who are curious, the medical exam is basically the same as your yearly physical (height, weight, blood pressure, temperature, etc.), but the doctor also has to fill out a form saying that we are expected to have a normal lifespan.  We had to be tested for Tuberculosis as well.  The test is a bit different.  We got an injection of the PPD tuberculin protein just under the skin (it stung!), and it makes a large bubble on your forearm.  We have to go back in 48-72 hours to have the "bubble" read.
