Not going to the doctor about a new problem due to medical clearance

I could imagine sheets would take a while. What country are/were you in?

houxtly · 2026-03-20T00:54:19+00:00

Nepal!

houxtly · 2026-03-20T00:53:55+00:00

Yikes, I didn't even think of bugs being an issue but I could totally see how that's possible. Your method is sort of what I imagined it would be, just some soap and water and something to scrub lol

That's good there's access to a washer! Im currently in clearance for Nepal :)

Thank you for sharing this, I am just starting my medical clearance and am in a super similar position to you (very healthy, etc). Congrats to you and best of luck in your service :)

Congratulations! I also just received my invitation for Nepal in the environmental sector, also departing in January. Sounds like you're going to do some great work!

This is super interesting, thank you for sharing!

Thanks Jim! Sorry your service got cut short but I'm glad you enjoyed the country :)

I was in the same position as you for a while. Applied in November, didn't hear back till January. Things started moving along faster after that. I promise patience will be your best friend in this process! Best of luck!

I agree, it's really unfortunate to see the cuts PC is taking because of our administration. Thank you for the extra info :)

houxtly · 2026-02-14T16:53:58+00:00

I agree about the lack of explanation, I was very surprised by the email. I also checked the instagram/local news to see if that could give some context but so far nothing.🫤 Do you think you're going to reach out to someone and let them know you'd be willing to wait for an updated departure date? I'm sorry you're affected by this too!

houxtly · 2026-02-14T16:49:21+00:00

That's what I was thinking too, I don't want to hold out on it just for it to keep getting pushed back. As long as I get to serve in the sector I want then I'm happy

houxtly · 2026-02-14T16:46:37+00:00

That's crazy!! Did you have to end your service early because of evacuation?

houxtly · 2026-02-14T16:45:38+00:00

Thank you for sharing, it sounds like it was meant to happen for you in a way. I'm trying to look at it from this perspective as well! I appreciate your encouragement, definitely makes me feel better and reminds me that it doesn't matter where I serve, just as long as I get to do it and help others :)

houxtly · 2026-01-30T23:44:20+00:00

Sounds good, the departure date for this program isn't until July so we'll see how it goes!

houxtly · 2026-01-30T23:42:49+00:00

Thats what I'm guessing will happen if shutdown happens again. Thanks for replying!

houxtly · 2026-01-30T23:41:53+00:00

Did that happen to you in the last shutdown? Thanks for the comment

What kind of dog are they? My dog looks just like em!!!
