I love the Mayo Clinic. I have been to the one in Jacksonville several times. I also have Osteogenisis Inferfecta. This is a genetic disorder that causes low burn density, blue sclera, and petite stature. On July 7, 2011 I had a dissection of my carotid artery. We were in Florida. The best end of vascular near a radiologist who is also double boarded in neurosurgery took care of me. I had an adverse reaction to TpA, the a stroke. I spent three months in Florida. I had a craniotomy. I lost the ability to speak the English language. I had to go to Speech Therapy every day for six months. Dr. Bellew told me that I couldn’t go back to work for two years. I’m that type a personality, I went back after nine months. After a year of working, I realized it was too much. My rheumatologist told me it was time to stop. This is perhaps one of the worst days of my life. However, when I look back, I know it was the greatest decision.
