I am so glad that you are doing well, and feeling peace with your decision. Olympia sounds like a good place for you guys. Though I sure do wish we could have you guys over! You wouldn't believe how big Zelda is!

medical docs are usually shredded and recycled after they are scanned. Usually kept for 7 years either way. Same w/ regular business docs- unless engineering. That's sometimes kept for 100 years.

When I used to scan docs for a j.o.b. I listened to interesting things on headphones. will they let you do that? Sometimes I'd also grab some exam gloves and cut the fingertips to wear them so my cuticles/skin wouldn't get messed up via the paper.
