@jodeej glad the physical went well. I had an "extended visit" recently and that went well too. My doctor will not do the "wellness visits" that are recommended by Medicare, he wants patients to have full physicals. Frankly, the only reason I can see for that is that if a patient has a physical they are liable for it, whereas if they have a wellness visit Medicare cuts the amount down and they have to accept that, along with whatever your other insurance pays. So he coined a new term (new for me at least) to get me in there -- "extended visit" and did quite a bit, more than a wellness visit but less than a physical. I figure with all the doctors I am seeing I really do not need a full physical.
It sounds as if you were able to return home rather quickly, that's great. How long did you have to stay up at Mayo? You are not too terribly far from there, aren't you? I am sure if you came from a more distant area they would want him to stay around longer. I am really glad that MGH came through for me and I didn't have to go elsewhere, Mayo was at the top of my list.
