We're almost done with the Mayo updates!! yay.
Day 8 arrived and after the disappointmend of the previous day of rain (minus swimming in the rain) we were almost at our limit of doctors. Or at least I was anyway. I have to admit that I did bug mom more on this day than any of the other days but it was all in good fun. And it resulted in a few good rounds of snickering in the waiting rooms seeing as we were both rather slap happy :)
On the adgenda for the day were two consultations, one with the infectious disease doc and one with the cardiovascular specialist. The infectious disease doc, Dr. Brumble, was being brought in to help decide if my immune system was playing any role in the problems I was dealing with and to say whether or not I would be healthy enough to try imuran or if it would compromise my immune system too much. The cardiovascular specialist, Dr. Stewart, was going to do an overview of my veins and all that to see that we wouldn't be compromising my stent or anything by trying anything else.
The consultation with Dr. Brumble went really well. She was so upbeat and fun to talk with. Basically what we got from her was that so far, from what they'd tested, I have a healthy immune system and there's nothing wrong there that is causing any colon issues. She did do a couple more tests that we won't get results from for a few months but from all the tests so far my immune system looks pretty a-ok :)
Moving on to cardiovascular! I actually don't remember too much from this visit...ha. Other than it went well and we didn't learn too awful much that was new. Except for one thing concerning my bloodwork that I get done regularly and how to make that more accurate, and that will help a lot! So I guess that was something big that we learned. Other than that I got the ok from him to try any medicine that Dr. Picco would want to try and my stent and all that jazz shouldn't be compromised by anything! So good news overall.
That night I believe is when we brought a little Kentucky down to the Florida folk. ha. Me and mom and dad made homemade biscuits and gravy, sausage, and eggs for the family we stayed with! (I absolutely LOVE having breakfast for dinner so this was therapy for me, ha.) It was yummy but so odd because it made their house smell like my grandma's house whenever we cook a big breakfast. A very odd sensation indeed! But it was delicious as always, especially my soy gravy. haha. Surprisingly delicious!
