Mass General Lodging
« on: May 09, 2007, 04:47:17 pm »
After much research and consideration I have decided to have my surgery at Mass General with Dr Mekena and Barker on June 22. Any recomendations on where my wife and daughter should stay? Hopefully I will only be in the hospital for 3 to 5 days.

There's a Holiday Inn directly across the street from MGH (http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/sl/1/en/hotel/bosgc?_requestid=38424).  You can also see MGH's list of local accommodations at http://www.massgeneral.org/visitor/accommodations.htm.  You'll probably want to find something within a few blocks (walking distance) of MGH. 

I know it was a tough decision for you, but I have full confidence in McKenna/Barker.  They're a great team.  Please let me know if I can do anything to help or answer any questions!

Good for you Jimmy.  I love Dr. McKenna and I trust him implicitly.  I however had radiosurgery and ended up with multiple issues which he diagnosed as radiation damage.  He was very honest and forthcoming about my situation.  And in the future if I should need surgery, he will be the man.  You are in great hands.  He is a very well respected physician in his field.  Good choice and best of luck.  I'll be looking out for your first postings after the surgery.  Godspeed.
