Oh and Glen if they have any left handed hammers you may want to stock up, they are hard to come by

He just always seems to ask only when i am strapped for cash.

Major score, especially if they were made in the states

Uggh. I had blood drawn the other day at the doctor's request and the lab results apparently came in today, but I was in class. I got a voicemail from the doc a little after 5 pm saying he sent me an email and I check it, but it just says the results need further discussion and to call him at my earliest convenience Monday or Tuesday.

What the f? Now I have to wait and worry over the weekend? Why can't he just tell me in the email what the problem is? The results can't be good, or no phone call/email would be necessary, but it seems they aren't terrible, because he thinks I will live until Tuesday.

Most of the time it is because some bonehead screwed up something and they want to re-vamp you.
I wouldn't worry, but just in case go grab that cute chick at the DR's office and let her have your way with you over the weekend

Hey sub par, bell curve, non math wizz's that is six days, NOT four.
I'm hoping this was in green?

If it wasn't, the four days are Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - four days. Fed Ex likes to give their guys the weekend off....

I just wish they would give me the news - good, bad, or indifferent right now!

Fair enough, I am all for people having the weekends off, but it would have been nice if it said four biz days.

They will not tell you you need more drugs and alcohol, hookers & blow. Relax, it is likely they just screwed up the test.

Well, I have a history of strange blood test results which resulted in a long, inconvenient series of blood tests. And there is this chronic swelling in my lower legs- though I am not entirely convinced about that.

I just got a call form my mother in law. We are going up there for Mother's day.

She has a project list for me. She knows to call me so I can bring the tools I will need. It beats just sitting around watching TV.

My doc is on the MyMercy.net thing. Got a test result notice email today from doing the the pre-op physical yesterday for my foot surgery. For privacy reasons the email just had a link to the web site with the test results including doctor's comments. Remember when I had to go back for another office visit to get test results. The doc I take my mom to she goes in for lab a week before the actual doctor appointment.

Oh yeah, everything was in the middle of the range of where it is supposed to be. Doc's notes sayed doing well see you in six.

Interesting that this month the docs have started drug testing for pain killer abuse as part of a regular office visit. That's gonna make the bill go up.

You are probably pregnant.

THC showed up in the urine test and your doc wants to know where to get a dime bag for the weekend?
