Stockings And Stinking Feet

Medical Passed. The last step!

This morning, lifted 7am for an appointment provided 9:30 to Dr. Gough in Boulogne Billancourt, we take a very light breakfast, given the stress we have, we do not really hungry.

Yes stress, knot in my stomach, it is the final step, one that will give us the precious.

So of course we have no scope on the results as it relates to our physical body. However much is said, the stress is still there.

We arrived at Boulogne Billancourt at 9am by the subway, we have not taken the car because with the caps that there in the morning there and pain to park, he had to get up at 6 o'clock.

time of locating the office, we'll have a coffee near it.

we go, no time to rest, he must go. We had been warned that he arrived at the Doctor to turn up at 10am but eventually he arrives on time and we spend almost immediately. We can all go 2 in his office, ca us some relief.

2 photos per person, the health card, ID card. This is what you asked, but also to pay the consultation at the end (90 €) not refunded, we were warned before.

Gallantry being set, I let Eleonas first. The doctor begins by asking questions about possible surgeries that would have been if we have any health problems. It is better to say anything because they will discover is what the doctor has told us 10 times. Eleonas takes only the Ventolin for asthma and me to share my laser surgery for my eye and my adenoids, but we have nothing we say. Following these questions, it is time to auscultation. First sitting on the table to check the heart, lungs and blood, we spend lying on his back for a pat here and there, it moves the leg to see if it moves well in all directions and see if we can also fold.

Then came the fateful moment for ladies, weighing and measuring the size and finally the view with the reading of a table (I saw almost nothing left eye, oops .. .). And we finally get dressed.

short, a synthesis of all this on his mac (yes a good old imac G3, so damn cool) and prints the document so that we were reading and the signions. He hands us 2 sheets for the following examinations are radiology for the lungs at the bottom of his cabinet and then the blood and urine sampling a bit further.

Dr. Gough should receive testing Wednesday, if all goes well, it sends everything in stride if not between Wednesday and Friday, he can still call us if need further testing.

Suffice to say that next Monday if we have no news is all good.

Everything has cost 165 € per person.

Once completed, we felt relieved of an enormous weight. To celebrate, we went to the restaurant Pedra Alta, once touted as the best seafood restaurant by my colleagues (Tan Tan and Picooz). Indeed it was very good and finally diet.

way back we still had to send the documents requested by the embassy to prove that we still live together. Hop, little chronopost 13H, they will tomorrow.

Big day full of emotions, we can finally breathe.

How Long Can I Stay On Cipralex

The News! Finally!

's it, we received our instructions for medical examination.

Friday evening after work, I just had to put my affairs in order to leave the concert at the Zenith Patrice (Tickets offered by my colleagues for my birthday. Again thank you!).

Also, I had gone shopping before going home, so I had her arms full.

So I could not and did not take the mail because I thought there would be nothing again.

I table the races and I Eleona wondering if I took the mail. My answer is no, but I still decides to go.

then I see in the mailbox of my upstairs neighbor, a fat envelope. I got the idea that the factor may itself be wrong mailbox. The envelope was still too big, so I finally opened my mailbox and I see a large manila envelope.
then I watch the sticker for the recipient (me) and I see my 3 names (chuttt. .. they are secret!).
Immediately, I think it is the embassy because it is the only institution to use my 3 names. Of Moreover, the presence of the words "Canadian Embassy" on the envelope confirms everything. One can hardly make it more explicit.

I climb the stairs faster than Flash and Eleona I cry: "Honey, that's it, it ca!"

We could not believe it. Finally! After nearly eight months since the last six months and sends the acknowledgment of the file by the Embassy.

We went through all phases:
- pending (normal beginning)
- excitement (when falls within the announced deadlines)
- doubt (when the average time is bringing us to pass under the nose)
- depression (the average time elapsed since the stats is a good time and no direction was sent in recent weeks)
- Pending such as sage or philosopher (It does not ultimately serve much all these emotions, the instructions will eventually happen).

times advertised on the receipt by the Embassy are respected in our case.

Since good news never comes alone, this morning (The day after the arrival of instructions), I decided to call the doctor's office agrees to 8:30, I get very surprised that it is already open, on the doctor's assistant, who told me that the first date is. .... Monday at 9:30!

Everything follows nicely in the end.

This weekend we start putting the furniture unreserved sale.
We will eat, as usual, very healthy, for analysis on Monday. Too bad we can not celebrate all this with dignity. This will be done Monday evening ... hi hi hi

Tomorrow appointment with Sevan, another future immigrants to Quebec on a photo shoot and celebration coca 0 of several good news!

How To Change Bmw E46 Handbrake

A little news ... or not ... Termination of the Lease


Hello everyone,


then as a salesman but no, we have no news to give you for now, always no instructions for medical examination in the mailbox. It appears that the Embassy is late, we're not the only end-March 2010 to wait. And I'm not talking about those who are after us ...

So yes it's getting long, so we go through moments of doubt in those moments.

It changes a lot our timetable. Recall that we make the apartment Dec. 18, then we should have to resign at this time but we are good for the round-trip Paris-Oise every day to work. If only for a month, not death. But this time we had already done a tour of the family ...

Waiting allows us to ask further questions including that of the city where we We intend to install. Until now Montreal was the only choice. Now
Quebec (city) also falls into play. The living environment of Quebec is better than Montreal because the city is smaller, more typical. Life is less expensive. There are more job offers. While wages are lower but they also must find his account, I think.

Advantage or disadvantage, they speak only French.

However there may be fewer exits, it's less cosmopolitan. Montreal has the metro. I do not know if the positions my field are not more numerous in Montreal too. I do not want this block then our professional opportunities.

short, if you have any advice for us for those who know or are now on site, we do.

Pending IVMS, I wish good luck to expect any kind (AR, CSQ or Federal).

soon for IVMS ... I hope very soon.
