Back from Boston, Pt 2

[doublevision1]

....cont'd from Pt 1


The final cost of the Brigham consult was $451….well worth it.  I was actually expecting it to be more.  I must say, it was a totally bizarre feeling for me when I handed them my Mastercard at the clinic, like I’m buying a pair of shoes at Macy’s or something (which I did do, btw!).  

So all in all, I am very satisfied that I went, as I received some alternatives to consider regarding current and future treatment, while at the same time, it reinforced my overall confidence in the treatment I am getting in Edmonton.  I look forward to reviewing his report with my regular neuro.  

So that’s my trip to Brigham in a nut shell.  A very LARGE nut shell.  BTW, this was my first time to both Boston and Philly, and also Provincetown, we took the ferry over and spent a day there.  LOVED all three cities.  The food, sights and people were all great, everywhere we went.  I was pretty worn out by the end of it, esp with the hot weather, but did fairly well, considering I did more in the last week than I have done in the entire past year.  It was so nice to be traveling again.

Again, sorry this is so long!  I am on my fourth day trying to put this post together; typing is VERY challenging and frustrating for me these days.  Please excuse any errors.
                        
Now I now have lots of reading to catch up on, here on the forum.  Hope everyone is doing well these days.

I am so happy for you that your visit in Boston with the neuro went so well!  It must feel good to know that you have gotten a second opinion and now have the information to think about regarding the next step in your care.  I am very, very happy for you and I hope your MS continues to improve and that you get some relief with that hand of yours!

Lots of Hugs,

Rena

Welcome Back! Was thinking about you! Great experience!  thanks for detailing so well for us.  

Can you please tell me how you can remember all of this and can recite it so well back to us? Do you take notes or what? lol......... My short term is terrible now.

Oh, you didn't mention  - did he gave you an exam?  Is he cc'ing you on the report or you have to wait for your Dr to get it 1st.  1 week  - holy C rap - took 3 months to get mine from Hopkins! Nice!
