@nlback22 Nadine, that is something to look forward to, and please say hello to him for me if you remember. I think he will be pleased with your progress. Mayo is my happy place and yours too! If you can walk well enough, you may want to take a tour of the Mayowood mansion that was the home of Charlie Mayo. Tickets are purchased through the historical museum. It is wonderful if you like history.

You can also visit the historical suites (free) on the 2nd floor of the Plummer Building. Just take the elevator to the 2nd floor. It is that old building with the carillon bells and the fancy brass doors across the courtyard from the Gonda/Mayo building. It has the original offices of the Mayo brothers and old instruments, etc.

When I broke my ankle in 2020, I contacted Dr. Fogelson, and he recommended a surgeon at Mayo who helped me. I had an appointment set up right away just a couple days later and was scheduled for surgery right after that. That was a long tough recovery (worse than my spine surgical recovery) and only last year was I able to hike a long distance for the first time without trashing my ankle. I figured out how to equalize the tension in tendons and ligaments all around the ankle, and after that, it was pain free and I could do a lot more. I'll send you some information in a private message.
