If you have never seen an Ant Farm, and would like to see one, go to the MAYO Clinic, Jax, FL. Trails, levels, places to eat, and oh yes, ants. Switch ants to people and you have the place.
One week there of testing and exhaustion is enough for me. Efficient, logical, timely, and any other positive adjective you can imagine for the clinic. "Testing" days, ending with 3 flights of stairs up to our condo just about kicked it for me. Barb and I decided to come home early. (We really missed Wiener) The condo was not all it was cracked up to be.
On a more upbeat note, I received good news and even better news. Diagnosis is multi-faceted:
1. Bone spur in one of the nerves of my spine
2. Fibromyalgia
3. Border-line diabetes
4. Extremely high-
Triclycerides; thyroid- should not be higher than .4 and mine was
77.6; blood pressure; white cell count (usually indicates infection);
5. Vitamin D deficiency - practically non existent
6. Sleep Apnea - timing out once every minute I was asleep - Going back
June 1/2 for "full blown" testing for this
I THINK that is it, but all treatable. PRAISE THE LORD!!!
It is hopeful that the bone spur can be dissolved and not have surgery. I'm doing PT and go back for "shots" and consultation duing June 1/2 visit. Already started on medications to help deal with other issues.
Reprieve is the only word that comes to mind. The condo is a whole different issue.
