| - So...I have been back to Mayo twice since my initial visit. The first procedure went well, yes I loved having the happy drugs and don't recall much from that day. My friends enjoyed my behavior and thanks to them I arrived safely at home that afternoon. What I do like about Mayo is the consistency and promptness. For this particular appointment I checked in, they made copies of my medical power of attorney and living will. Yes, they actually stated to bring it if I had one. Thank goodness I took care of that back in 2001!!! I had the same nurse the entire time, that way you do form a bond and there is a level of trust. Again, as in the initial visit, when I entered the room the Dr., although a different one, was waiting for me. He discussed everything in great detail. They took a all quiet, the Dr. reiterated what was being done and everyone had to say "check" including me. Though I thought it was strange, it leaves little room for error if we are all on the same page. All went well and this test showed normalcy! Yeah!
Then I went back again the other day. Well let's just say I couldn't not complete the test. It had nothing to do with Mayo at all, just me. My body was not cooperating. My Dr. called me within the hour to say he had been notified. He wanted to reassure me that it was OK, and we would discuss it at greater length in his office on my follow-up appointment. If I had any questions or concerns to feel free to call him at any time. Now that is a surprising change and I just loved it. Yes, I have not been feeling all too well since that day, but...
