Wow.. Candy.....that's a tough one. I see that quite a few folks on Connect have to wait months for follow-up appointments. And surgeries.........you can have all the pre-surgery work done and then have to wait what seems like forever for the actual surgical procedure. Yikes!!!! I am now 81 years old. Waiting for the next appointment can be very disconcerting.

At Mayo Clinic you have a "health team". There will always be a qualified practitioner to jump in and help you. I also use the messaging option on the portal when I need a more immediate response. It works quite well even when you are connected to multiple health institutions as long as they are using the same software, e.g. Epic.

Regarding a new start-up medication like Tymlos.....the portal option would be the best way to get immediate attention so that you don't have to be lost in never, never land.

Great to hear from you this evening. Have a lovely sleep.
Chris
