@rosemarya so nice to hear from you! Thank you for the encouragement to ask questions as I tend to be shy. Fortunately my husband helps to make sure we get out all the information and questions. It helps me so to hear your experiences and reminds me that all the symptoms are important. I am excited, anxious and hopeful. I too love the lobby and, if I have the right one, the piano music that is often live there, especially at lunchtime. I have added questions regarding genetic testing to my every growing question list. The primary purpose of this visit is to end or minimize the episodes of infection which lead to adrenal and septic shock and the frequent ICU visits and you have reminded me that there isn’t any information or question that is not valuable. I know from Mayo that they are having me come back because they think there is something they can do and I hang on to that hope. I so wish for a return to the life of what I call the ordinary. Work, husband, family, the everyday times that are simple, ordinary and now precious and longed for. Being able to see a friend, make a meal, be with my husband without it being followed by disabling exhaustion or adrenal crisis. Especially longing for less fear of acute ICU level episodes and the freedom to travel a little. Right now we have been asked to stay home and close to the local hospital who knows what to do in crisis as not all hospitals know what to do with my somewhat rare situation. Thank you for your caring and encouragement. As we prepare to fly out on Monday, I am glad for the support. I too send a virtual hug and all my appreciation. I hope to stay in touch. All my best wishes, Rhoda.
