Lisa's surgical trip

[Lisa Inman]

Hi, this is Lisa's husband Richard learning to use the system to keep you posted on Lisa's adventure to Mayo. We are leaving Washington tomorrow, Saturday, late afternoon. I hope to keep you posted after we have checked into our motel in Rochester and learned their system so I can update the news as it happens. I will be looking for nice walks to take around town so if any of you have suggestions of parks, outdoor art, bird friendly environments, I love to hear them. Thanks, Richard Inman

Welcome Richard!

I am so glad that you will be able to give us updates on Lisa's progress. Best wishes for a safe trip out to Rochester. Tell everyone at Mayo that I said Hello and I love them all! Lisa is going to be in such great hands.

Richard - don't forget to get your rest every night. Lisa will need you to be sharp every day so you can bug her a lot to get out of bed and walk

You are both in my prayers,

John

Richard, being a Mayo patient for 30 years it is a second home. You will be in good hands. A great inexpensive place to eat right across from St. Mary's is Canadian Honker. They actually have healthy foods, my husband loves their breakfast he goes there while I have my heart biopsies. If you like liver and onions (not many do) they have the greatest. Good luck to you both.

This board is making me hungry today! LoL. First it's the cheesecake discussion from the Chicago Deli in Cleveland... now it's liver and onions from the Canadian Honker. Yummy! That's one of my favorite dishes (liver and onions, not honkers).

Hi Richard and Lisa

Lisa is lucky to have you support her.

Love and support help healing more than anything else.

I am praying for both Lisa and you. I wish Lisa the best regarding the surgery and recovery. She is going to a great place and will be very well cared for.

I will be checking the board for updates.

All the best to you both,
Eve

Well, we're about set. To the airport tomorrow to fly to Minneapolis, to Rochester on Sunday, appts. Mon. and Tues, surgery Wednesday 6/22. Finally, the last one of the spring myectomy club.

I made it to the end of the school year just fine, but it is always a push to get everything done that needs to be done. And today is my birthday (56). And tomorrow I'm off to Minnesota. Things have not been dull around here.

I got a head cold day before yesterday, it seemed like it was settled in yesterday AM. NOT GOOD. Dr. Ommen said if it got any worse they'd postpone surgery. NO WAY. So I am probably pickled in Emergen-C, Echinimide, Esberitox, and Natra Bio homeopathic/zinc nasal spray--but my cold is at bay or maybe nearly gone--hooray! I'm going to still keep taking all my potions though.

It is repetitive but true--I wouldn't be on this path without the HCMA--THANK YOU LISA SALBERG!!! And without all you folks in the forum I would never ever be so wonderfully prepared and supported. Thank you all, you have my deep appreciation.

We'll be in transit for a couple days, but then we'll be checking in with you.
Best wishes while I'm out of commision. Hugs, Lisa Inman

Hi Lisa
The next few days will be very hectic for you. I have been going to the Mayo Clinic/St. Mary's Hospital for a little over five years. As far as the staff, doctors, nurses, health care and just plain asking questions/getting answers.you absolutely will have no problem. I can't express the admiration I have for all of the people that I have come in contact with.

I live in Minnesota and the weather is beautiful here, so bring something cool. They are calling for rain next week.

Both you and your husband will have some tough times ahead of you, but all in all, you certainly will benefit.

You and your husband will be in my prayers.

There will be so many people checking for an update. Please keep us informed.

Lisa,
i just returned from a tour of Mayo Clinic myself! They are such wonderful people and such a beautiful little city. I saw the hotel you will be staying at - in fact Kelly pointed it out, it was nice to see exactly where you will be in a few short hours...The way I see it we can send our good thoughts to you and I am sure they will get there..because I have seen the location and the good thought know where to find you

Best of luck and I KNOW you are in GREAT hands!
Be well,
Lisa
