Oh Holy Medical Kit.
Well I received my medical kit today...and holy crap is it huge. Cali was right to take a minute and breathe before opening it. All the same, once I did, I wasn't even half through when my first "*SIGHHHHHH* holy shit, are you serious" came out. I had 2 or 3 more after that.
It's HUGE. Plus, I was lucky enough to receive God only knows how many extra forms I'll have to have filled out on top of dental, medical, and optometry. This is all the forms they sent me...and sometimes my thoughts on that:
- Report of Physical Abilities--fine, cool, easy
- Health Conditions Requiring Further Explanation--that's fine, it looks easy, my only issue is that I will have to take some to multiple doctors, so I really wish they'd put it on separate sheets so I can potentially do this all on the same day.
- Neurologist Specialist Form--I expected this b/c of my seizures, cool
- Asthma Evaluation--I'll have to take this to my pulminologist, luckily he's cool, quick, loves travel, and discontinued all my medication and asthma
- Counseling Form--but I do not know if this is for the year of counseling my mom made me go to (all I wanted to do was change from private to public schools!) or if it's for the counselor my sisters and I had to see for the divorce. No clue.
- Mental Health Treatment Summary--again, the year of counseling or the divorce counselor? Either way, both were stupid and meant nothing, but I don't know what form goes to who or if it should go to both. I'll have to call.
- Personal Statement--I have to write a personal statement about my mental health. I suppose I shouldn't be sarcastic or witty in that. But like I said, both situations were pointless.
- Medical & Dental Evaluation Checklist
- Report of Medical Exam--I have to fill out the top, they do the bottom, also will have to take it to the obgyn to fill out her part
- Report of Dental Evaluation--thank god my dad is a dentist
- 3 Forms for Reimbursement on Medical Expenses
- Prescription for Eyeglasses--that should be easy for the optometrist
I also have to somehow get the Bloomington Hospital Emergency Room record of the time I had to go in for an allergic reaction sent to me...hrm. I hope I don't need anything from the IU Health Center. And I hope my doctor has my immunization record, otherwise I'll have to go all over the place to get it.
At least my dad is a dentist. *sigh* That helps. But what makes me hit my forehead is all the specialist I have to find. Also, I don't know who either of my counselors were, so I have to find that out from my parents and hope I can find them.
Okay. Tonight, I fill out everything I am supposed to fill out. Tomorrow I have my dad do the dental, take the form to the optometrist, the other form to the obgyn, the other to the pulminologist, and another to the neurologist. My physical is with the nurse practitioner next Tuesday.
Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh
