In talking to Liza Jane last night, she convinced me to start a sorta "blog" about my trip to Mayo here on the forum. My husband and I leave in the morning on a three day trip to get to the famed Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. We are traveling by van. He made me a foam and memory foam mattress that is going to take up one side of the van. I'm making this trip laying (never have been able to remember laying vs lying, so just bear with these errors when I make them) on that foam mattress. I expect to see a lot of different shapes of clouds, various birds and the intermittant rain drops.
Oh yeah..forgot...probably a few rest stops too.

We are going from Texas up thru Oklahoma to Des Moine West Clive, Iowa first, then to Joplin, Mo. and then to Rochester Minn. We are starting this trip with ice/snow, sleet/freezing rain threatening. We don't know what we will run into weatherwise on the trip. It's rather a daunting trip even without all of the weather. With the weather, it's downright scary.

So if any of you aren't interested, just skip this thread. I'll be keeping you all up to date on what tests are run, what I thought about them and anything else I'm able to glean out of the visit to this place. I'm supposed to see the head of neurology, Dr. Peter J. Dyck first. We hope to find the answer to a lot of medical problems that have gone undiagnosed so far in relation to the neuropathy symptoms, possible pudendal neuropathy, Sjogrens, eyes, etc. They will have their hands full with me. I'm taking them a basketful of complaints.

And Liza Jane said to throw in some about my trip. So, unless you all tell me you could care less and to shut up and quit blabbering about this adventure. Here begins my journey.....
