@rosemary & @susanjc my wife is going with me. We are both planning on taking notes, then we can compare what each of us heard. I have been trying to keep a journal of my doctor's appointments over the last 4 years. If I have questions when I read through my journal, I write them down so I can ask them at my next appointment. No questions about the Mayo campus. I've been there many times in the last 4 years

@rosemarya @marvinjsturing we stayed at Gift of Life while my husband was doing his workup to be listed on the transplant list. We also stayed before he was officially activated on the list. I hope this helps.

@jodeej, If you stayed at the new one, you most likely stepped on our paving stone in the peace garden!
It is a good thing my wife was with me. At our first meeting with the nephrologist he made a statement that I understood one way and my wife understood another way. At our second meeting with the nephrologist, it was obvious that my wife was right (as usual).

@marvinjsturing, I think you and your wife have an excellent plan! I also kept a notebook and it evolved into a journal of my journey to transplant. It is my personal treasure.
I would like to recommend that you check out the Gift of Life Transplant House. I don't know whether or not you would qualify with your inactive status. My husband and I lived there for 11 weeks in 2009, and we often stay there for our annual visit to Rochester.
I hope that you have a good visit and that your evaluation goes well. I will be looking forward to hearing from you after you return home and get rested up.
