Received two emails this morning. I've been dreading all messages from medical lately but one of them had "Peace Corps Medical - Medical and Dental Clearance" as it's subject heading.
It started out with:
Dear Richard Porter,
Congratulations! You have completed your medical and dental requirements and are cleared for Peace Corps Volunteer service.
A few more paragraphs asking that I keep them informed as to any new health issues or circumstances right up until the time I get on that plane.
The message from the medical portal and my nurse Lisa read:
Hi Rick,
Good news!!! I have processed your medical clearance :) You should have an email with the details. It's truly been a pleasure to work with you. I wish you the very best in your service!
Take care,
Lisa
My final response:
Thank You.
It is so funny because I really do know that we get all into these hopes and dreams and in 6 months we realize God may be punishing us by having answered those prayers.
But honestly, you are an angel in human form. Few people know the value of the daily work you do. You are in service to those who desire to serve. At the same time you (the PC) want only those who have not just the desire but the health and stamina for the work.
I will only be successful because of people like you who were good and kind along the way.
Thank you again.
Rick
While waiting for my late lunch friend, those few extra moments gave me an idea for a video I needed to do. It's a video for me. It's a video to remind me to remember this moment for those times when remembering the emotions of a day like today will put me back on track.
