Accomplished quite a bit yesterday. Went to the GP and got a medical exam; I was prepared for a comprehensive physical of the kind that I'd gotten before in the States, including the turn-your-head-and-cough hernia test, but I thankfully got to keep my junk in my pants as all he did was listen to my heart and lungs, feel my abdomen, and then take

Good thing they make it such an enormous pain to immigrate, or we'd all be over there in a jiffy.

[jlundberg]

True. Although medical travel to Singapore has gotten very popular...

[retrobabble]

Heh. I just finished my medical exam for the US. $ 330.00 so far with a possible $ 200.00 more for possible vaccinations that I won't find out about until after my blood test results on Friday.

*envies*

Condolences. Are you traveling overseas?

[retrobabble]

Heh, no. I wish. I'm applying for my Green Card. I've been in the US on 8 years on work visas and NOW they want all the medical tests and up-to-date vaccinations. :p

I'll try the tea tree oil remedy. Hopefully it won't make my boobs grow. Cause, you know, that's not really something I need right now.

I have no cheap advice to give. I'm a woman. What the hell do I know about a goat?

I DO have an opinion, however, on the incredibly great prices of Singapore health care: Jesus! I wish I could get me some of that! Freakin' A.

[jlundberg]

Yeah, it's pretty sweet.

Durian scented aftershave?

But seriously, here's what to do. (I am well versed in shaving, er "sensative" skin.) After you shave, soak a cotton ball in witchhazel and douse your face. Witchazel will work for any "red, itchy, dreadful" areas. Then put lotiony stuff on for dryness - I recommend some kind of cocoa butter, aloe, or vitimin E.

I hadn't thought about witchazel, but I'll have to try that. Thanks, Adrienne.
