Deferral lifted!
My medical clearance has been lifted!! I sent in my appeal files last week, and it finally got to my medical officer yesterday. He looked it over together with a specialist there, and they were able to lift the deferral without the need to take my case all the way to the appeals board. I can't even express how relieved and happy I am about this! I feel like this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I am free again.I still have a couple of things to do to get medical clearance, but you can bet as soon as I found out the deferral was lifted, I was on the phone making appointments to get everything taken care of! I haven't been able to get ahold of my placement officer yet to see what my options are exactly about getting into a program soon. I suspect though, that it might be September for the region I'd most like to go (Eastern Europe). Who knows though? At least I don't have that two year deferral though! I'm just on Cloud 9 right now, if you couldn't tell. :-)

Hey! I am working on medical clearance, but I was told that I will be leaving for Ukraine in August with a TEFL program. I guess 300 people are going in one huge group! I just have a few more immunizations to get, but I hope that I can get it all done in time! I hope it works out for us to go in Aug.
