Calling New York Girl

[jmjm530]

Just in case you've gone back into hiding mode LOL thought I'd re-post this. As long as you had your blood drawn, mine as well do it right. Here's my post from below. Just have the nurse use the exact notation as mentioned "HCV RNA QL TMA" so she won't screw it up again. This is the notation Quest uses for this particular test.
----------------

You can call the NP and ask her to "add" another test to the blood already drawn. They do this all the time and should have enough of your blood. Since they did a PCR, the test you want to add is "HCV RNA QL TMA". It's a Quest Diagnostic's test where I'm assuming your bloodwork is taken. Sensitivity 5 IU/ml. I'd call her TODAY and make sure she does it right away while they have your blood. If she flakes out on you -- doesn't sound too bright -- ask to speak to either the office manager or the doctor himself. Tests are added to existing orders all the time. I had my NP do it a couple of months ago myself.

Looking at my enzymes I am HOPING *fingers crossed* that so far so good.

I wanted to post to you this morning...I heard about the "Starvation For Sanjaya" lady who won't eat until he's off the show and thought of you immediately.  And yet they said he's still there?  Aycarumba!

Not sure if you caught the gist of my post yesterday. Point was you don't have to draw blood again for a more sensitive test if your current test comes up negative. All you have to do is ask your nurse to "add" the test I mentioned to your blood draw sample two days ago. They uaually have enough blood left over to do that.
As to Sanjaya -- if we can endure peg and riba, we should be able to handle watching Sanjaya for a few more weeks. Sounds like the person you mentioned has "sanjayarage".

LOL that made me laugh out loud.

I am going to try and call again today to the NP and find out if she can add that test.  I'm going to try to be positive - in all ways if you get my drift.
