@elainerb, I am checking in with you to see how your September 2 Mayo Clinic Neurosurgery appointment went. I know you were apprehensive, understandably and scrambling to make the mad dash to Rochester.

I am happy to talk more about anything, including volunteering. Ask away as you have time! Here is a bit more about Mayo Clinic Connect Volunteer Mentors: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/tab/volunteer-mentors/

How are you doing? What is next?

@jlharsh Sorry it’s taken so long to respond.
I had surgery on September 10th with Dr. Lanzino. I had a flow diverter placed.
It went really well, they used my wrist to do the angiogram on my dominant hand which also has Thoracic Outlet syndrome. So from the swelling and bruising I couldn’t use my right hand, but I’m just getting back to using it a bit.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mayo Clinic Rochester. I have had dozens of surgeries at other hospitals and they pale in comparison.

I had surgery less than 10 days after my first phone call to Mayo. I was able to go home to St. Louis 3 days after surgery and follow up with my doctors here.
The care, attention, and timeliness is incredible!

Thank you for the support and I am very interested in volunteering.

Minnesota Nice is real!
