Walking My Path

So I did the medical screening that the Army wants. I sent it to the local screening facility. They looked over it and called me back. Because I'm on Welbutrin XL I had to have my mental health screening re-done to reflect some sort of diagnoses. My doctor hadn't put anything down because it is situational depression expected to completely clear itself as soon as I'm with Lance and settled in.

So I take the paperwork back to my doctor and have the two pages re-done. Then I faxed them a copy and mailed the originals Priority Mail. This was last Monday.

I called yesterday to see if they received the papers and what the status of the forms that need to go on are. Basically, the woman I talked to doesn't know anything because she isn't part of the actual screening process...that's done by a doctor and a nurse. She did give me the phone number for the nurse.

Called the nurse and the paperwork was sent to Germany Friday, so now it's just a matter of waiting for it to come down from Heidelberg to Mannheim (which is only a 45 minute drive...) after it's been approved. I've been told it can take up to 30 business days to do that, but I'm praying it doesn't take that long. I'm going to burn some candles and stuff.
