So, in my last post, I mentioned that I still had a couple hoops to jump through before starting at Iowa. Today, I tried to finish the last one I could before Wednesday (which is the "fun" of Orientation).
I had to prove that I had had my shots, so I called up my doctor's office. They had me leave a message, then called me back. It turns out, they don't have records for my infant inoculations. I don't know where else to call to get that information, so I'm sort of trapped on that one. They did have the records for the meningitis and hepatitis series that I started in 2004--then never finished.
After learning this, I was a little upset, so I walked down to Capanna and got some gelato while listening to Gungor. That calmed me down immensely.
Looking at the form again, it looks like I only need to prove immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella--and I've got a semester to get that done. Then again, searching further indicates that proving this would cost me $271, or I can get the MMR shots again (two rounds of shots) for $182. So while it's not as bad as I thought--I was worried I wouldn't be able to register for the fall, or I'd have to make about 2 dozen phone calls in the next 5 days--but it still sucks. Hooray for disappearing medical records.
