Thanks, everybody, for the well-wishes! We're getting some excellent diagnostics done, and much more to come. This situation has been getting progressively worse for a couple of years, and so far nobody has been able to offer much help, or even figure out exactly what's going on. We will be here for the rest of the week, with tests scheduled every day, and then a consult at the end of the week to discuss diagnosis and treatment options. Hope it works !

JL, The Mayo Clinic has major hospitals and related facilities in Jacksonville, Florida and Scottsdale, Arizona. Rochester, Minnesota is the original home, but the Clinic branched out many years ago. You will consistently see year after year that Mayo, Johns Hopkins and the Cleveland Clinic are in the top three in medical facilities in the USA. I'm probably here today thanks to Mayo isolating and identifying a very rare and potentially deadly tick-borne disease about 20 years ago! And we won't even go into the "Testosterone Guinea pig Program" :rotflmao:

Update- - - - -it looks like scheduling difficulties for some of the tests they want to do are going to require a return trip in about a week or so. We've got one more procedure scheduled for tomorrow morning, then we will probably head home to Tennessee for about a week. It's about an 11-hour drive each way! We're still more impressed with these folks than the facilities closer to home. I'll be attending grandson Robert's graduation from Marine boot camp next week, but it looks like Mary won't be able to make that trip. Thanks for all your concern and prayers!

Yep- - - -as far as I know, isn't that the Marines' only boot camp? My daughter, my SIL and I will be getting there sometime next weekend. I think his grad date is the following Monday.

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.... now who's bringing the hot wings? :jester:
Got some of the test results today, MRI looked good, no problem in aorta, stomach, liver and pancreas. Chest CT showed some nodules but normal for age so good there too. Blood work fine except platletts a little too low....so, so far so good.

Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
Don't be a Dickmon! Read the OP thread starter. Or rather, I'll post it for you. "She and Jerry are in Jacksonville, Fl at the Mayo Clinic"
