Mayo Memoirs
Yesterday we met Dr. Lacy. She mentioned a trial I might benefit from. Dr. Lacy then re-ordered most of the tests I underwent at Mercy. My personal favorite is the 24 hour urine sample I had to collect. At Mercy I got to do this at home. At Mayo I had to carry my urine around the hospital while undergoing tests Monday and Tuesday. Monday I had a blood draw, radiographs of my entire body, a chest x-ray, an electrocardiogram, and an MRI. I started the morning off today with a bone marrow biopsy, which they thankfully put me under for. I almost got a pneumonia immunization that I had already received at Mercy. I was told that two of these shots would give me a nasty rash and make me ill. Glad we caught it in time. I ended my day with a neuro CT. In the waiting room Amanda met a couple of nice old ladies from Iowa and she ended up programming their cell phones for them. Tomorrow I get to meet with an orthopedic spine surgeon to consult on my back. Hooray!
