Well, both Dave and I spoke to the overseas clearance person at what was going to be our receiving base this morning.  I got tired of relying on a third party to get my point across, so I took matters into my own hands and called her, and Dave followed that up with a call as well.

This is where we stand: because of the lack of adequate medical care we got denied a transfer to Alconbury.  HQ is reviewing that today.  However, that does not mean we aren't going to England, or even to Europe. Because USAFE (the command we're going to) has been banking on getting my husband for over a year now, they're not going to want to lose him, so they'll try and find him placement at one of the other bases.  There is a full-service hospital at Lakenheath/Mildenhall, (sister bases) - England's largest US military facility, so we could go there instead.  That's about 2 hours away from my mum and dad's place.  We could also go to Ramstein, Germany - not my number one choice, but within driving distance of England. We could realistically go home for holidays if we got stationed there.  So, that's the news on the transfer front.  We're supposed to know by the end of the week. I hope we find out soon, because we're running out of time - 11 weeks left now.  That might seem like a lot, but when you think about all the arrangements I have to make with numerous different agencies both military and civilian....it's not really that much.

I'm working on day 4 of a headache today.  All the meds I have tried thus far haven't really been too successful, so I'm off to the doc this afternoon to see what magic he can do.  It's all caused by stress.....I can't for the life of me imagine why I'd be stressed?! (that was sarcasm for those of you who aren't too good at picking up on such things)

Off to the doc I go....prob'ly to get a shot in the ass so I can come home feeling all better.
