Blue Jeans, Gene Blues.

The second I got out of work today - in dirty denim and a Carhartt jacket - I jumped in a cab and headed over to the hospital. My wife was waiting for me - we had an appointment with a geneticist. Used to be the law to get a blood test before marriage - still is in some states. But we were there to check for a rare genetic disorder that runs in my family. Turns out we may be more at risk than we first assumed. Really got us worrying. Went over to my folks house afterwards with some questions and to hash out the family history in more detail. We came away with full stomachs (Moms good cooking) and lots of reassurance. Still need to get some blood work done. But hopeful as usual.
