Day 1 at the Mayo Clinic is over. Both Lance (my little brother) and I each had an appointment with our doctor. Mine was at 12:30 and his was at 2:45. We were in the appointments from 12:30-5:30 straight but they were very productive. The doctor did an exam and looked at all my symptoms and she is pretty sure that I have POTS/dysautonomia. But multiple tests have to be run to confirm the diagnosis and to decide which medications I should be put on. I have a good bit of tests to do tomorrow starting at 8am and going until about 12pm. I have to get blood work done, a urine sample, an EKG, an exercise test (I have to ride a bike for 10 ten minutes), and something else that I can't think of right now.
This morning we had about 4 inches of snow and it was 29 degrees in Minneapolis. We left Minneapolis and drove to Rochester. Rochester doesn't have any snow yet but it is supposed to snow overnight and tomorrow. We are staying at a hotel that has this "SkyWalk" thing which are just tunnels above ground that connect a bunch of buildings. So we can walk to the Mayo Clinic without ever having to walk outside, which is really nice when the high for the week doesn't get above 30.
I wanted to keep y'all informed although we don't really know anything or have any results yet!
Until next time,
A
