Thank you so much for your reply, I never expected someone to be so kind and helpful! I honestly can’t thank you enough! I came to Mayo Clinic with the hope of finding information that could help me feel more at peace with the experience and also to be more informed. Again I want to thank you for your help and your kindness, it’s extremely appreciated!

Aw, you’re most welcome. Honestly, I’ve been in your shoes. Not the same scenario but in situations that have made my heart skip a beat or raise my eyebrows! It’s so easy to get inside our own heads and tell ourself stories. I swear they keep growing despite our best intentions to reassure ourselves that we’ll be ok. But from experience I can tell you it would be extremely difficult to pass on anything harmful to you by what you experienced. Outside of touching the chair the rest of the nurse’s protocol seemed pretty standard.
I read this message after answering your next question about the swab…so I think now you’ll have all your answers and hopefully will be able to put this episode behind you in the ‘ta-done’ box. ☺️
