Mayo Week

My Facebook status update this morning says "Trela Hansen Rottinghaus is not interested in spending two days at Mayo this week. If everyone thinks it's fine, why do I have to go prove it?"

Tuesday I have a mammogram sometime in the early afternoon (probably should find out when...) because it's a prerequisite for having a breast MRI with them. They have to do it the day before so I get to make the drive twice. I decided there was no point in staying overnight in a place I didn't want to be, and it's only a two hour drive. So, mam on Tuesday, I'll just head north on my own and get that taken care of.

Eric comes with me Wednesday for a typical "Mayo Day." (Read: Day filled with lots of appointments and probably no time to eat lunch.) We see my dear onc at 8am, a breast specialist at 10 something and finish the day with an MRI. So, yet again, I'll be waiting for a phone call... There's a decent chance my doc will have seen my mam before our appointment on Wednesday morning, but he won't be able to say anything definite until the MRI read is done.

I'm hoping that by Friday I'm looking at this as a HUGE inconvenience and nothing more.

Carpe diem. - Trela
