Traveling to NJH
I've just read that Omicron subvariants are resistant to key antibody treatments for those of us who are immunocompromised. Thinking that I'd had every booster known to man and that I was relatively safe, I made travel arrangements to fly to Denver to see my doctor at NJH instead of renting an RV as I have every six months since the pandemic began. Is anyone else traveling by air right now, or have I completely lost my mind? Your thoughts? I can always cancel...I have two weeks.

In response to mems: Did you end up staying the full 12 days at NJH or did you get to leave earlier? Also, do you mind me asking where you stayed because I am going in May and have been looking into the different hotels discounted for NJH patients?
We arrived Tuesday PM and I was supposed to stay 10 days. They did a LOT of testing the first 3 days. Not a lot was scheduled the following week. Three last days only 1 Dr appointment each day. They were able to squeeze a couple of more important things in for me on Friday because Saturday is a "down time" - - - nothing scheduled at hospital. One test I can do at home with my Dr. and send to them. They were very accommodating with the schedule and I got everything done.
We stayed at the Mauven. Check hotels before for discounts. Many of the hotels had not received to 2023 discount okay .
I learned that the hotel discounts for NJH patients are very limited in number and get taken quite far in advance.
The last time we flew to NJH (2016), we had no trouble getting the NJH discounted rate at the hotel we preferred. We stayed at the hotel that has parking lot adjoining B&Noble. I think it’s the Courtyard at Cherry Creek. We have stayed there many times and always got the NJH rate. Haven’t been there since 2016, as my doc retired and I transferred care to UCSF—sea level works better for me plus family nearby.
