I had my kidney transplant 6 years ago at Mayo. My mom was my living donor. I stayed in the hospital 4 days postop. Then we stayed in a hotel that had a kitchenette for about 4 weeks from the time we went prior to transplant to when we left. As long as you schedule a stay for at least 4 weeks in a hotel, they will not charge you sales tax on your stay. This worked out great for us as there was a bedroom as well as a Murphy bed in the living room area. The only complication I encountered postop was with the Bactrim which they felt was the cause of interstitial nephritis and is now on my allergy list as being allergic to sulfa based antibiotics. I had a liver transplant in 1995 and a second one in 2007. The anti-rejection meds were the culprit for taking out my kidneys as well. As in all things we have to take the good with the bad, but always looking on the positive side we wouldn't be here without the miracles that can be done these days.
