Back to Mayo Clinic today
Seems like I've kept several hospitals, lots of Doctors and Nurses busy since the first of January this year. First a Prostate operation, then a fall on the ice resulting in a broken pelvis. All that has healed fine and is 100%. What caused me to fall on the ice in the first place is a bad right ankle that has been a problem with swelling and pain for a year or so now. Several local doctors have tried their best to diagnose it, no luck, it still is swelled and hurts bad. I got accepted at Mayo in Rochester, Minnesota and started my tests on April 5th and 6th then back again today. Next week the 11th 12th and 13th, with my results on Monday the 16th. I simply cannot believe this place, the size, the instant schedueling, the thouroughness of the tests. If they can't find it I don't think anyone else can, So our hopes rest with them. I'll have my laptop along to keep up with TP. Frank.

Back to Mayo Clinic today
Yoper: First,kind of an update from Mayo. I did the scheduled tests yesterday and again today, with the rest to be completed in five more days during the next two weeks. We surely appreciate everyones concern and prayers, I've got all the faith in the world that they will find the problem. Yoper, I really can't answer your question about elm, I've never used any for furniture wood, mostly allways red or white oak, maple, walnut, or cherry. Several years ago I took a couple red elm logs on trade for something, I had them sawn and stickered to dry. This lumber has sat in the corner of the shop for years, I noticed some cracking of the lumber too, so maybe air drying isn't the best for elm. I posted the question about elm on one of the woodworking sites a month or so ago, some guys posted pictures of tables, etc. made from red elm, it looks almost like red oak. One of my first projects this summer is to make somethung out of the elm just to see how it works. Frank.

Yoper; One of the first tests they did was for Gout. They draw some fluid out of the ankle join, put it on a microscope plate and check for microscopic crystals in the fluid. Crystals=Gout, no crystals=no gout. No crystals were found. Frank.
