Andrea Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 We had our weekly calender meeting at work (it is a law office). Someone asked "is anyone knwowledgable about Iressa and disability"? Well OF COURSE I said I know all about Iressa and started to explain about it..........Everyone is looking at me like I am crazy What he meant was "ERISA", the Employee Retirement Income Security Act". There was some new ruling recently dealing with disability from work and ERISA In my defense, ERISA is pronounced just like IRESSA and the firm does do a lot of medical malpractice work, so I thought it was logical. Everyone else just thinks I am mental Heehee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Oh Andrea, I am laughing so hard--Sorry, but it IS funny!!! Thanks! elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I'm hee heeing right with you, Andrea. As you know, I also work in a law office and we do some ERISA work. I can just see something like that happening. How funny! Don't worry, it will give them something to tease you about for years to come! Every lawyer has to have something the others can pick on. We have a lawyer that wore pink pants to work about a month ago. They were really kind of a rose color, but everybody called them "pink." He will NEVER live that down! He hasn't worn the pants since.

Connie B Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Chemo brain is a family disease!!! (at least it must be now?!) Oh too toooooo funny! GOOD ONE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Does that explain my husband telling me this AM that I knew about him golfing this evening, that he told me several times, that I even marked it on the calender. I went to my calender in the kitchen today was blank. Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTaa Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Andrea, That's just TOO funny . . . I used to work in the retirement investment industry, so I'm familiar with ERISA. Sure wish I'd been a fly on the wall in that room! Donna, So which one of you has chemo brain - you or your husband?! Blessings, TeeTaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 TeeTaa, I think the chemo brain is an osmosis thing in family members and caregivers. Andrea, if they ever do have a case come up involving Iressa you will be the first person they call! You never know when all this knowledge is going to come in handy.

Elaine Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Andrea It doesn't sound a thing like chemo brain to me. I wonder how you would "preform" if given a standard association test. You know, I say, cat and you say....... Anyway, it made perfect sense to me--I mean Iressa IS Iressa. elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 If I were given a Standard Association Test, I would be insitituionalized immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
