@brianna the evaluation is really busy and you will go through a lot of testing to include 30 plus lab tests, chest xray, mri's, ct's, echo cardiograms with and without contrast, egd, and many many consults. Everywhere you go, you will be given a lot of information to keep including personal contacts and resources for anything you might encounter. I had my egd today and plasma transfusion and when I got back to the hotel, I ate, took insulin (which I ran out of with another week to go) and after arranging my pharmacy to overnight insulin, went to sleep for approximately 5-6 hours. Keep track of all the contacts you are given because they are invaluable resources for information. I was scared to death but so glad to be here during this outbreak. Mayo Clinic has stopped all visitors from coming in, and I feel very safe. Also, I had a victory today as I've been unemployed since December and my disability was approved today! One more obstacle has been overcome by my Jesus! My social worker is Michael Womack and he is so very knowledgable! Very blessed in Jacksonville!
I'm in Rochester now and everything came back good and he cancelled my colonoscopy for tomorrow. My meld score dropped from 19 to 13.
