All This, and No Results, Yet

I am glad that this Mayo visit is finished. It ended up being two very long days and in the end, we never heard the results of the tests. I know we will, eventually, but it is rather a let down spend two days coming and going from the hospital and end up knowing nothing new.

The tests themselves weren't much of anything, from what Dennis told me. Both days he would start out with a cursory check by the nurse, and then he would drink some iodine. The first day this burned his throat, but he was a trooper and took it again the second day. Then he was with the technician being stuck with needles, forcing dye through his veins and towards his heart. He was so comfortable, he fell asleep the first day. We would have between one and four hours off, when he would return and have pictures taken.

All in all it was dull and long. In fact, the most exciting part of the whole adventure was the poop fest. Now aren't you envying us our daily lives?
