Hey.... guess time to get to the laughs... huh...have you ever been slapped in the face by something as big as the MAYO CLINIC???? Well now I can say I have... guess they must not be as smart up there in Rochester and they profess to be and they sure dont know me very well.. God has brought me to this and he will get me through it also!!

or guess I will look for a winery that needs a grape smasher.... or hey I could become the female Elvis I sure have the shaky leg down pat



I too got a NO letter from the mayo clinic, Even after my Nero doc referred me, said, "We regret to inform you that we cannot offer you an appointment and your request did not meet our criteria for an appointment and requests for appointments are based on medical need and prioritized that way." I guess they can pick and choose their patients. But the one thing I have also learned is Never, no matter what, Never miss an appointment, because their are so many patients out there that have Movement and balance disorders that getting another is going to be a lot longer than you want it to be.
