My son Bobby had his done. I should see if they showed any potential family matches with MIL's birth dad's surname.

So more boring medical stuff. I have to get a calcium score test done because of my cholesterol sucking for so many years. Oh well, non-invasive so I don't mind. Today I go see gastro guy and talk to him about my concerns on colonoscopy, and to schedule the dang thing. DH really needs to take his RA seriously! And I need to do more research. His Rheumatoid Factor is 33 where it should be

It's always a doctor. I think I've talked to five different people in the past couple days who are descended from unknown Jewish doctors, and not one unknown Jewish father who had any other profession.

Is "Jewish doctor" the equivalent of "Cherokee princess"? Will nobody admit to having an affair with a Jewish bus driver?

(My family history includes an affair with a Jewish nurse four generations back and one over - my great-grandfather's cousin - but since the entire family was already Jewish that wasn't the scandalous part. Anyway, that's why we own summer vacation property in Ontario now.)

What's a half first cousin, Hil?

The child of your parent's half-sibling.

Heh. My guess had been that it was doctors doing residencies somewhere far from home.

Oh, duh, of course. Thank you.

I've had a kit since early March and just need to submit my spit. But I have dry mouth most of the time, so finding a time where I haven't drunk anything for 30 minutes and don't have dry mouth is kinda rough.

I went to the doctor today. Pretty much, she had no idea why I'm anemic. So, she's doing a few more tests.

I have no idea why I had to wait a week for this appointment, rather than her telling me this over the phone, especially since I told her last week that I was planning to go out of town and that, if I needed to do any more tests, then I wanted to do them as soon as possible, so the blood for these test really could have been drawn a week ago.

If anyone's interested in doing DNA testing, pretty much all of the companies are having sales this weekend. (And if you want to do it to find an unknown relative, then Ancestry is the best place to start, since they've got the biggest database of other people who've tested.)

I am being a good adult, I made a doctor's appointment for one of my days of vacation.

For some reason, the last sentence leaves me with so many questions.

I suspect some clandestine settlement for the actual scandalous part.
