Back in N.Y.C.

On Sept 6th I had my primary appt for my PPD and chicken pox vaccine.  The PPD was just a small injection put under the skin.  It creates a bubble and then the doctor draws a circle around it.  In two days the doctor has to read it.  If it is gone you are tuberculosis free, if it is pink in color then you are positive.  Mine was negative.  The pink bubble was gone in a few hours for me.  I had the echocardiogram done on Sept 9th.  This was a simple test where I just laid back while they took images and reading from my heart.  It was a lot like an ultrasound.  Shortly after that I got a call from Roswell Cancer Institute. I had applied there to do some volunteering.  He called to set up a date for Orientation so I could start.  I really want to be a research coordinator someday, but all the job offers require one year of experience.  Right now I only have six months so I figured this was a good way to start with the experience and maybe get my foot in the door.
