Good one JoanB
 

I don't know what is funnier - the prim lady in white playing the "Shaft" theme song very seriously, or the people rocking out to music from a uke. ? :confused:

Good idea, Sandy Kay...a mu mu sounds much less scratchy! :)

And I concur, Vivster, it's hard to say. How did we ever live without so much exposure to weirdness before the Internet?

(said the 55 year-old woman who pretends she's a sock monkey and hangs out with talking pop-tarts...oh wait, I have my psyche eval tomorrow...wonder if I should tell him about all of us..........................nah!)

Oh Please DO
 

Says a talking, guitar playing poptart to his friend, the Sock Monkey who is SO talented she can play music on mandolin and uke...... Do Sock Monkeys have fingers? I have long since forgotten that detail of the sock monkey I had as a child.

One very forgetful PopTart,

Indeed
 

I've tried every which way to make it sound 'right', but rock and uke just dawn't mix. Uke-n-Roll Rock-n-Uke :icon_eek: oh dear


:BeamUp::BeamUp:Yep, beam up the whole lot of em :BeamUp::BeamUp:

Har Har Har
 

'Twas nice to have a bit of tongue in cheek humor, that it was......

For sure and for certain,

Oops, sorry to keep you in suspense over whether or not sock monkeys have fingers...I never really thought about it before, but I guess we must, otherwise we'd only be able to play bar chords.

Anyways, I also forgot to update: I have to get the bloodwork again because of the low monocyte number. Nobody's saying if that's a big bad thing to worry about, so I applied one of my rules: when in doubt, assume it's all good until you learn otherwise. If it turns out to be something terrible, I'll have plenty of time to get upset about it then.

Also, I got through my psyche eval all right. I figured out at the last minute that the key to that whole deal was just to not seem too sad or too happy. I'm sure the shrink would tell you it's way more complicated than that.:rolleyes:

I think you are right Joan
 

The eval. is to ensure we are not making it all up - or that we are not too crazy (?) ha :confused:

The 2nd time around, the bloodwork came back with the monocyte low, but within in range. So I guess everthing's a go, and I called the Dr's office on Friday to ask what's next and I still haven't heard back from them.

They often take a long time to call me back--sometimes almost a week, and I'm starting to worry about that. What if I run into trouble in the middle of the trial, and they take so long to call me back? Would any of you be worried by this pattern?

Maybe it's time to be the squeeky wheel and call again. I wouldn't wait till Thanksgiving week.
I think During the trial they are more apt to stay on top of things. They want it to be successful. During the trial my Boston Sci reps were on call 24/7. They were a big help.

The most important thing is to trust your Dr and his team.

Hope you get answers soon.

Sandy

Yep Sandy!!
 

I think Sandy is on target with this one Joan:

1. Squeaky Wheel, take the Uke to the Drs office and offer to entertain them with a few tunes until they call you back.
2. Avoid Thanksgiving week, the week between Christmas and New Years Eve. Try for some mundane time like early December, when no one is doing anything but going to office parties.
3. If you can't trust the team find another.

Yup,
Mark56:)
