+Young+ Posted January 17, 2014 Share #2151 Posted January 17, 2014 Okay, I just got back from the specialist and unfortunately, I have to get an MRI done and a nerve test. In addition, the specialist is only in his office, which is not that far from where I live, twice a week. Therefore, the earliest I can meet with the specialist, in order to get a clean bill of health is January 24th (Friday). Therefore, I am hoping to be back at Livingston Street on January 27th (Monday) & then be in the February 3rd class. I know, I am also about this as well. Therefore, I probably will not post anything else as far as how my progress is doing until I get the clean bill of health on January 24th. I got a clean bill of health sooner! I will elaborate below... Just worry about making sure you are ok first. Job comes 2nd. Don't underestimate muscular dystrophy. It can range in seriousness and depnding on what kind it is, it could seriously effect the way you perform the job and even live. Good luck bro. Thank you! I am okay, I did elaborate towards the bottom. @Young... Did you mention something to the Dr or it happened just Out Of The Blue? I did not mention anything, it just happened, but when I went to the neurologist the first time he saw the same thing the TA doctor saw. Like I said, I am fine, I elaborate fully below. You and me both man! Young you are in my thoughts and prayers. God willing everything will be alright. I'm just shocked the doctor assumed you have muscular dystrophy. Leave it up to God. It will happen for you. Thanks. Everything is alright... Young I hope not. Please don't think about DQ. Just get yourself checked out, and make sure you are clear then you should be ok. You will get through this. Never thought I would myself get a bit emotional about this, but this is our lives here. I pray for all of you guys. You will get it Young, I know it! DQ? Definitely not! Mr Young, I'll have my fingers crossed for you! You helped a lot of ppl and deserve to be there! Thanks! Hey young. ...we didn't forget about u. Glad Ur still optimistic....bad enough caveman is MIA Thanks! And stylus850 I hope everything works out for you and young this week!! Thanks! Thanks MTA4Life. Yea I hear you Young.....but we will get cleared. Guys we will make it I have faith. God can make it happen. I have a sonogram tomorrow so that should be ok. Okay, so the neurologist wanted me to go for 3 exams...blood (normal), MRI of the brain (negative) and a EMG test (negative). As a result of having another consultation with the neurologist again today, there is nothing wrong. Now the TA physician did ask for "treatment recommendations". Therefore, the neurologist and I made an agreement that I will do vigorous stretching at least once every day, which is not a big deal at all. I usually go for a 30 minute walk at night anyway (which has numerous benefits) and I usually stretch my leg muscles right before or shortly after I finish the walk, so it's not a big deal. I was hoping to get a clean bill of health today, however the secretary at the doctor's office was a little too busy. Therefore, I plan on getting this on Monday, followed by going back down to 180 Livingston Street on Tuesday. This will work out good in a way since HR is closed on Monday due to the Martin Luther King holiday anyway. I will still keep everyone informed of my progress...hoping for the February 3rd class. (My list # is 2** just in case anyone is wondering and/or forgot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Young+ Posted January 18, 2014 Share #2154 Posted January 18, 2014 Young did u guys carry in your 21 page booklet as yet? For the second drug test, no. However, be prepared and ready to hand it in when they call you back for medical, because if you pass medical the same day, you are going to meet with an investigator, who will check it over. Once that step is complete, then you are hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do u guys think they gonna call us in soon after we take the drug test to do the medical? Probably quick. WannabeMTA was called back a few days later to come back in after he took the 2nd drug test. Remember they told us within 90 days they would call for medical so that's coming up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone 718 Posted January 18, 2014 Share #2167 Posted January 18, 2014 I got a question for you Rm3271, when you took the road test for mta, did they have you do call outs on speed limit signs or approaching traffic signal ?

I been taking AAAA cdl lessons for a school bus just to get a feel.By the time you take the road test the instructor already a has an idea of your skills. I did call out overpasses, all merging signs, all pre-planning moves ("There's a truck double parked ahead I'm going to start moving into my left lane") and all potential hazards (Bicycles, people in cross walks, road work construction workers) and every once in a while the speed limit. The instructor will inform you of what they want you to do and say doing the qualifying test.... Just listen to them and you will qualify! Good luck! U picked Flatbush? What bk depots where open? Yes, I pick Flatbush because it was closest and had some parking....Manhattanville MJ Quill 126th Street Grand Ave East New York Ulmar Park FlatBush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While at zerega the superintendents said there's an orientation class of an average of 50 every 2 weeks.... It's hard to say how my will be for TA, OA or MTA Bus... All depends on each agency's needs. My class started with 53 with 26 of them for TA. We are now down to 32 with 18 for TA and at least 8 of the 32 have not passed the DMV road test. So the list is going to move fast.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
