@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!

Yay, yay, yay @elainerb! You have such great news. So glad your surgery is in your rearview mirror. Double that for your follow-up care being done at home.

I am excited to hear you are interested. You may have already checked this out, but here is where you can learn more about Mayo Clinic Connect and volunteering. I am happy to answer questions if I can. You will want to use the link located just above “Meet the Mentors to officially find out more. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/

I am interested to know how you are doing. Will you come back and provide updates on your recovery, and also volunteering pursuit?
