I am searching for a cheap hotel/motel in Rochester, MN close to Mayo Clinic. I will be going there on Monday May 14th to have pre-operative testing done, then seeing the doctor on Tuesday and having surgery on Wednesday May 16th. My Family (husband and 2 teenagers) will be coming with and we need a cheap place to stay for the week.
I have been told that the type of surgery I am having done will be the 6th of it's kind. I was born with Erbs Palsy in the right arm 44 years ago, and in Feb. I learned that my shoulder socket had never fully formed. Which caused it to dislocate easily all my life, and it has been permanently dislocated for about 12 years now.
If someone could give me some ideas on cheaper motels/hotels I would be very appreciative.
Thanks.

Karen,
We stay at the Kahler Inn and Suites. It's right across the street. Runs about 100.00 per night. Includes a very nice continental breakfast, exercise room and pool. May be a bit more with extra people. It's conected by the "subway" but that shouldn't be much of a problem in May with nice weather. Otherwise if you find another place most of them have a free shuttle that runs to the Mayo. Good luck with your surgery. What part of WI are you in? We're in WI also. Headed to Mayo in June.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".

Re: Hotels in Rochester, MN
Sue,
We live in Chippewa Falls, WI. It's only about 2 1/2 hours from Mayo and is a very scenic ride there. We go all the back roads instead of going through St. Paul area. Where about's are you located in WI?
We are on a pretty tight budget since I have not worked in years. I have been turned down by Social Security once again. I have a list of Hotels I received from Mayo and am looking into them still. Will check out the Kahler Inn & Suites first. Thanks.
Kids are coming because they want to be with me for the surgery. My 14 year old daughter said she would get home sick if she stayed at a friends house, and the 17 year old daughter felt she needed to be there with me too. Makes me feel good after having gone through the early teen years with them both rebelling.

Re: Hotels in Rochester, MN
Karen, can you please explain the surgery you are having? My daughter has been dislocated two times now (surgically repaired 2x) and is subluxated again now and I just wonder and worry about what the future will bring. Your post has shown me that there may be some additional hope for my daughter in her future years. Thanks,

Re: Hotels in Rochester, MN
Francine,
They are going to replace the "ball and socket" with a steel ball and plastic socket. This is the only thing I really know. They said I will have 3 months of recovery time. I am just hoping that I will be pain free as this is what we are aiming for, not fixing the "Erbs Palsey". It will be the first time in 45 years if it happens.
I don't get on this site as often as I would like to, sorry it has taken a while to respond back.
