Today I was running tests from 8am until about 11am. I did blood work, a urine sample, EKG, chest x-ray, breathing test, and an exercise test. I was blown away by how efficient the Mayo Clinic was. An itinerary was sent to us a few months ago when we first booked the appointment. When we met with our doctor yesterday a new one was printed for each Lance and I. Each patient here gets their own barcode that is printed out on their itinerary. My itinerary is 13 pages long (and we are only scheduled to be here for 4 days!). At each different desk that you check in to, the receptionist scans your barcode and all of your information pulls up. I don't have any of the results of the tests I did today. We will probably find everything out on Thursday when we meet with our doctor again. Tomorrow, I have to do a tilt table test at 8:45am and then I will meet with one of my doctor's nurse practitioners in the afternoon.
It snowed last night and during the day. Although it was below freezing outside, I woke up sweating and was just super hot this morning. I knew I would have to do lots of walking around and exercise today, so I decided to just wear nike shorts and a short sleeved t-shirt. The looks I got were hysterical! We decided to take a walk around downtown this afternoon when it was 26 degrees with a wind chill of 12 degrees, just to say that we did it. We found a few cool shops on our walk and were able to warm up for a little while. We went into a Barnes and Noble that used to be a theater and it still had the original front/outside as well as the inside walls and ceiling. It is on the National Registry of Historic Places. Although, we are sick "kids," we still like to have some fun when we have to go to the doctor.
Both of my parents just told me that I had typo in my blog post yesterday. I apologize for any past mistakes and any future mistakes because I am no J.K. Rowling.
Until next time,
