Re: Re: Las Vegas in April

[Guest guest]

Congratulations on your consult a! I think it is great Dr. K has an

office in Las Vegas... because if I need to go back to visit him... I can

get a MUCH cheaper ticket to Las Vegas (once I relocate to New Mexico!) As

a self-pay for the entire surgery, I understand what a sacrifice it is...

and I will be praying that you only have to self-pay for the consult! The

DS isn't an easy surgery, but it IS a life-saving surgery.

I used to hate to travel pre-DS. I've just returned from a trip to New

Mexico, where I had to take 3 planes each direction. I could fit into the

seats! I could buckle the seatbelts! I could put the tray tables down! In

fact, I had to spend the night in LAX airport on the way home (as I was

delayed in Dallas and didn't make the last flight of the day to Santa

Barbara)... and wandered around LAX during the night! Laf, a little over a

year ago, it was ALL I COULD DO to sustain being pushed in a wheelchair to

the gate at LAX for a direct flight! (With my oxygen in tow of course!)

Next year, you'll LOVE traveling again, a!

.. How far is

from Vegas. We are staying at the MGM Grand!

We will be arriving Sunday and leaving early Tuesday!

-a

a,

is 'spitting distance " from Vegas.

From the strip, it will be about 10-15 minutes, once you get on I 15. The

biggest slow down is possible traffic on the strip to get to the

expressway.

By April, our weather is getting hot, so bring cool clothing-light

colors, and light weight. Dont' forget lip balm, and lotions, and keep

yourself very hydrated by drinking lots of water. IT is very easy to get

dehydrated in the desert. YOu dont' even know you are sweating, and then

all of a sudden, wham, you are very, very dry.

We should see you at the April meeting.

Hi a! Welcome!

I went to see Dr. K for my consultation in Vegas in January. For the same

reasons!

Had a nice trip. We rented a car was the easiest I thought and the town was

not hard to navigate. The office he is practicing out of was a tad bit hard

for me to find be sure to take the address including the BUILDING NUMBER as

there are a few

in that complex.

Dawn did my " teaching " and patiently answered all my questions. That

night was a support group meeting and we found it only a few minutes late.

Met some handsome post-ops and some excited pre-ops (The Stolz's).

If you have any questions that I might know I would be happy to answer

them.

I look forward to meeting new wonderful people when I visit Delano!

Hi a..I went for a checkup in Vegas last November. . I live outside of New

Orleans- stayed at the Miage. Renting a car maybe cheaper than taking a taxi.

Perhaps the hotel has a courtesy car? It was quite expensive for a cab ride out

to . $30 sticks in my mind. Didn't seem that far looking at a map, but

the meter said otherwise. Have a good time! Betsy
