We did stay for 3 nights at the Marriott across the street from St Marys’s before getting on plane back to NJ. If possible, first class, front row helps because you have more seat and leg room and getting on and off the plane is very easy. Everyone was extremely helpful at the airports. My husband did contact airline and request wheelchair/assistance to board plane. They see Mayo patients all the time and are very kind and accommodating. Wear loose comfortable clothing so if you need to use the bathroom, you can easily. Wheelchair is a MUST at the airports. Don't push yourself. you are recovering from major surgery. When you are ready to go home, your therapists and case manager will go thru the do’s and don'ts for your travel. They want you to get home safe and sound as much as you do. Best of luck to you. Take it slow and moment by moment. The only pain I had after myectomy was in my back and by the time I was traveling, it was gone.
