We arrived at Mayo today and had my first appointment. I'm seeing Dr. Locke, who seems very nice, and who seemed confident that he could help me get better soon. We have a schedule for Friday through Tuesday... I am going to remain "outpatient"... meaning I get to stay in the hotel with Marcus. (YAY!)
The docs talked with us for about an hour about what's happened in the past, and what is going on currently. For those of you new to the story, I have had fairly significant digestive issues since 1997. The most recent flare up (since Sept.) has just been much uglier than the other ones I've had in the past.
Tomorrow I have a blood test in the morning, and then nothing for the rest of the day.
Marcus and I are headed to Minneapolis/St. Paul for the weekend to hang out with our buddies, Andy & Heather.... so you can all check on Monday for the next blog update. :)
Monday I have multiple tests, and then on Tuesday, I have a bunch more appointments. I see the doctors again on Tuesday and find out all the results of my exams. At that point, they'll decide what's going on, and what other tests need to be done.
I think that's all there is to report. Please pray specifically for the tests to have clear results, and for the doctors to have a good understanding of what the results mean. You can also pray that I can sleep well... I've been having trouble with that for a couple of weeks now.
Much love & hugs,
brelin
