Hello. It sounds like you have done your homework and after very prepared. I also am scheduled for surgery, Septum Myectomy in July. My Insurance took forever to approve the surgery at Mayo and was out of my HMO. Approval came on Wednesday, two days after restrictions went into place due to COVID-19. I am now trying to get ready for these trip. I have found so many great tips on this site. I really am so grateful for all who have taken their experience and help others as we take this difficult and scary journey ahead of us. I heard that there are homes that you can rent near Mayo's for patients and their families. Has anyone taken that option instead of going to a hotel? I also was also told that the Hotels will give Mayo Clinic patients' discounts if you let them know. Has anyone any advice or knowledge of either of these options for housing? Thanks in advance.
