November Appointment
My appointment was scheduled for Nov 20-27. I have to agree to stay 4-7 days, but we have a problem, our insurance will not cover Mayo Clinic and we cannot afford to pay all out of pocket, so I am having to postpone until I can pick up insurance through my job. THat will be Jan. 1st. Once I do, then I can go ahead. So, I will have to wait until after Jan 1 to go, I will call tomorrow and switch the appointment. My husband is very frustrated, I know he's trying to make sense of all of this, but it's hard, he doesn't handle this type of thing very well, especially when it affects me, he is so afraid of loosing me. I talked tonight to him to try to get him to understand that I need to go and get this second opinion, I just can't take a chance on a wrong diagnosis, at least that's how I feel about it. Its my life we are talking about, he understood after I poured it all out to him. I don't want to put us into financial disaster with this either, so very hard. All I know is my swallowing is an issue and that's how my father started. Mayo has all of his records so it makes perfect sense to me to go there, if there is a family tie, they will be able to see it. THank you for thinking of me, at least I think you were responding to me? (If not, sorry to bother you with this looooong drawn out post!)
