B.M.Q.:
My blood pressure was crazy high (179/112 - HR 115) the date of my medical, because I was almost late for it. I now have to get the all clear from my family doctor, but since my pressure was more normal (127/92), still a little high but I was still anxious about it when I saw him on May 3, that should go smoothly. My doc just wants me to complete a physical with him, which is set for May 24.
As for my interview, everything went well; I was told I was competitive for every trade, and they were all still open. The only issue arising from that was a legal one, but not of my own. Since I may potentially be called as a witness against a person practicing law without a license, I was told this could delay my processing because that could show I "may" not be available for training. What I need to do now is verify that I am not needed, which in my own opinion (as a licensed Paralegal), I am not. This issue should be cleared up before my physical on the 24th.
What I have learned from all of this is to make sure you are relaxed before your medical by being early :facepalm:, and try to clear up anything that might prevent you from doing anything, even for one day, before going in. Try to make sure absolutely nothing will prevent you from going where ever you need to go, whenever they need you to go there.
Cheers,
How d'ya do dat? Congratulations, btw.
