This week I have been humiliatingly poked, prodded, probed, and squeezed, all in an effort at staying healthy. We are fixin' to go stateside for a couple of months and every time we go we have to undergo a complete physical. And I mean complete! Dh and I are now in the "over 50" club which means we are now eligible for those special exams which are reserved for "older" people. Those of you who are also in this club know what I am talking about! So far, everything has been going well. Tomorrow I will suffer experience my first colonoscopy.  My experience has duly begun this afternoon after taking my first bottle of oral fleet. What fun! (Not) Only the GYN is left and that will be done next week.

The whole family is getting a complete physical which means that this whole week has been spent visiting various doctors. We will finish up, hopefully, by next Wednesday.  I lost my glasses this week (for real, not just around the house) which meant an extra doctor visit to replace them. I'll be glad to get my new ones so that I don't have to type this at arm's length. I can barely see the dialog box I'm typing into it's so far away.

As I mentioned before, we are going stateside for a couple of months this summer. We will be leaving in two weeks on June 1! We are starting to get excited about shopping seeing our family. We do not have a place to "lay our head," so to speak, and will be staying with family for the 10 weeks we are in the states. Most of our time will be spent in Texas, although we do have trips planned to Indianapolis for our church convention, and Richmond for a week of missionary debriefing (or something like that). We plan to take a few days after each trip to do some personal traveling.  We hope to get some rest, but that isn't likely with the short time we have. However, I'm finally starting to get excited about it. Whoo-hoo!
