Four Angels and a Cigar – Part 2
The Mayo Clinic – Rochester, Minnesota
My incredible husband (my guardian angel) took me down for the first few days of appointments. He was an incredible help – not only because I didn’t feel comfortable driving (with dizzy spells), but he also commandeered the schedule and guided me to where I had to go! For the rest of the week, my oldest daughter Alex (another guardian angel) took over. I was so thankful for their guidance and company – the whole process was overwhelming. (I realized after I published Part 1, the title should have been Six Angels and a Cigar! Tim and Alex were beyond angels!)
It was 7 days of appointments…only 2.5 hours the first day, but the other 6 days were 6-10 hour days at the clinic. Add in two more trips in June for a total of about 2 1/2 weeks more at the Mayo…I was poked, X-rayed, MRI’d, spun in a chair, tied down to a table so they could flip me up and watch me almost pass out, sat in a capsule (during which I pretended I was captaining a space ship), and gave enough blood for all the mosquitos in MN to be jealous.
