Oh noes!! I have a bone marrow biopsy tomorrow...

[TZ]

But at least they are sedating me for the procedure (sorry KW!) Plus I have a whole bunch of blood tests before that tomorrow. Means I got to fast tonight...
Then I have a CT on Thursday..Thats not too bad..I've had them before.
Friday morning I have an appointment with the doc and then I'm done.
I like the doctor. Really nice, explained the physiology well and took the time to discuss likely scenarios with me..The most likely outcome will be going on a med..likely a form of interferon..which is ironic because alpha-interferon is something I work on professionally.
Mayo is a nice place though..I'm very impressed..very attractive well designed and seems to run pretty efficiency. I think it was a good idea for me to come here.
Also, I becomming utterly charmed by the Minnesota accents!! But I have yet to hear anyone say Uff Da!!!:D

5. My thoughts are with you...

...Glad you feel good about your doc. That's important. My friend went through this last year-- it all turned out well. You've helped me put my root canal tomorrow in perspective. I know that wasn't your intention, but...

6. You will rarely run across an Uff Da in southern Minnesota.

It is more German down there.

The Mayo is impressive. Did you know that they produce all of their own media (audio, video) in house? Their Media department is aMAYYYYzing.

[KitchenWitch]

7. And I hope they find what is wrong with you and that it is easily treated.

:doh:

I am just a regular Cliff Clavin today.

[RainDog]

12. you'll be in my thoughts

you are definitely at a good place. hope all works out well and as quickly and simply as possible.

your post made me wonder... what sort of accent do you have?

[TZ]

13. according to my cousins from Colorado

its an "Eastern" accent.

[Cabcere]

14. Sending lots of good vibes your way!

:hug: Hope everything turns out OK. (hey, that rhymes!) :P :pals: Keep us posted when you can. :)

[TZ]

16. I will..watch for some PUI from me tomorrow afternoon..

Under the influence of sedatives and painkillers! That could be ...interesting...:)

[Cabcere]

17. I'll be looking forward to it!

;) (although if that doesn't work out, I totally understand. When I got my wisdom teeth out, I was totally planning on watching "Yellow Submarine" under the influence of the drugs they gave me, but I didn't get through five minutes before falling asleep, lol.) Anyway, I wish you the best, and will be looking forward to hearing from you again - PUI or not! :D :pals:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Uff da!

Hope that doesn't suck too badly and they can come up with a good treatment for you. Mayo really is excellent; you couldn't be in a better place.

Check in again and let us know how you're doing. And on your way home, be sure to take a pic of the Larry Craig Memorial Bathroom at MSP (the outside, anyhow). It's the one in the central shopping area past security, before you go to the concourses, near the Snoopy statue. There might be Republicans hanging around...

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

18. Will be thinking of you - hope all goes well

I don't like to hear of "Oh noes!' unless I'm having them myself. :hug:

Thankfully I've not had to go there, but I've had friends and family check in. Always the best experts, and for whatever reason they always have the best bedside manner too. You are in great hands! Hope dinner was good last night at the Megamall!!
