Today The Testing Starts At The Mayo

Looking for the Light

Yesterday we spent the day driving around in the countryside looking at farms and fields of solar panels. we went to his tiny lake, but the description did not match the actual place. It was a tiny man-made lake with a shoreline that kids swim in during the warmer months. We went to The Peace Center and watched a great program on Native American Indians, tribe members from all over the country participated. There were many different ceremonial dances by women and men, live tribal music, and singing. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, I left my phone behind and so far the photos my husband took are well….not so good. 

We also checked out what building we needed to be at in the morning and where to park. We’re set. Tomorrow isn’t a long day. I will meet with an internal medicine doctor in the morning and pick up an oximeter machine on Tuesday night.

We have the late afternoon free if we don’t decide to take a nap. The weather is cold here and naps feel really good.

Wednesday starts early at 6:40 AM with blood work and closer to lunch a meeting with a Hematologist. I expect at least one diagnosis to come out of this meeting since most of the blood work being done is focused on the blood itself if that makes sense. One of the problems I currently have is that my hemoglobin is low which means it’s not carrying enough blood through my body.

Unless something is added to my program, I’m off on Thursday and back on Friday afternoon to meet with the Internal Medicine Doctor, I expect a diagnosis to come from this meeting.

Take good care of yourself and I’ll keep you posted if anything new comes up.

Melinda

    1. So far they’ve add a Neurological Doctor/testing for Thursday morning. My musles aee rely week which I didn’t even know. I knew they were in my hands but I thought is wad arthritis. It’s my legs and arms that have little strength. We’ll see. The big day is tomorrow with the lab work and meeting with Hemelologist. That’s the one I’m most curious about. Had a good meeting with the Internal Medicine Doctor and I see him again on Friday for a read out of the blood work he ordered. It will all work out!

          2. I’m not ready anything about my health until diaognosis are made. Anything before that is a guess and strees I don’t need. Meeting with these doctors are stressful enough with the tons of questions they ask then determine what other testing they want. They’ve added another test and a meeting with a Neurologist. It’s to overwhelming to think about. I’m ttrying to write post and rest. :)
