DAY 97 -- Medical Attention is Coming for Us

Well, we have to start getting our medical stuff  done.  So today we are setting up our medical appointments. We will drive to Brigham City in a few weeks to be seen of those doctors who will tell us all about us.  They will verify how many steps we can take a day without breaking out in a swet. They will tell us if we are stressed out, and if we can handle a mission.

Bonnie's brother was deemed stressed and he had to take a stress test.  It took a bit, and cost more than a bit.  It was $3200 for a stress test.  Perhaps when the doctors see Bonnie, they will determine that living with me is certainly causing stress in her life and mandate that she has to take a stress test.  Then if for some reason iff I have to take a stress test also, it will cost another $3200.  Not fun, and may put off our mission until we can pay for that stress evaluation.  UGLY.

Then of course the dentist will verify if we are teeth that are falling out, decayed or even looking bad.  Don't know what a stress test would be involving the teeth, do you?  Maybe they will have us sing the Star Spangled Banner with marbles in our mouth to see if our diction works well and our teeth can handle it?  I don't know what a stress test would be for the mouth.  But you never know.  I had never heard of a stress test until Bonnie's brother told us about it.  Maybe there is such a thing for the mouth.

I have certainly identified that there seems to be a lack of connection from my brain to my mouth.  I think of one thing, say that thing and then I am told I did not say that thing.  For instance, the other day I was talking about doing some exercises to get my weight and heart in shape.  I said I needed to speed up my walking to get my heart moving and I said that I needed to strengthen my tongue to get my liver moving.  I knew I said it about my heart and weight but those who heard me heard something different.  Maybe I should worry about everyone else's ears, not that connection between my mind and mouth.

Anyway, we will find out if there is a stress test involving the mouth, what it costs, and whether it can tell what that connection I seem to be missing.  Maybe it is as simple as a fuse has blown somewhere in my mind or mouth.  All I would have to do is replace a "mouth" fuse?  Shouln't cost $3200.  I will let the dentist find that out.

Onward to preparing for our mission.
