Today, I board an airline from Atlanta to San Diego Ca, to spend tonight in the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, then tomorrow morning I will be picked up, taken via shuttle across the boarder into Tijuana Mexico
Monday morning at approximately 7:00am our Hospital Sprinter Van will be outside to pick you up from the Sheraton Hotel and you will be escorted to our Hospital which takes about 35 minutes. Once you arrive, you will be received by our medical team and treatment will begin that Monday, and ending on Friday. On your departure date when returning back to the states you will be dropped off at one of the three San Diego locations.
• San Diego International Airport
• San Diego Sheraton Hotel and Marina
• San Diego Train Station
Every day when your treatment is complete at the Hospital, you will be escorted to The Hyatt Place Tijuana
Your discharge from the hospital is scheduled for 3 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST) on Friday. For patients undergoing a back procedure, please confirm with your intake coordinator whether your departure is set for Friday or Saturday. The exact time for border crossing on the day of departure is uncertain, so we advise against scheduling flights from San Diego before 7 PM PST. If you are receiving disc injections, we recommend booking a hotel in San Diego for Friday night and planning your flight for Saturday. Please note that CPI does not cover hotel expenses post-discharge.
Since I couldn't arrange a flight home that Friday to accomodate their timetable, I have had to pay for another night in San Diego to fly home on Saturday.
RETURN TRIP: Congratulations on being one of the chosen patients to be a part of CPI's return visit!
Your 6 month and 12 month return trip will begin on Wednesday and end on Friday at approximately 3pm. Hotels and local travel is not included for the return trip. Hotels, border crossing and local travel can be included for $1000. This will include one night at the Sheraton when you arrive in San Diego the day before on Tuesday night, and the following two nights at the hotel in Tijuana.
On your return you will receive 30 million free stem cells that can be used in your IV, shoulders, knees or hips. The free 30 million stem cells cannot be used in your back, neck, wrist, hands, penile, hair, or facial. If you have any questions on this please feel free to reach out.
The first time I've ever had color coordinated shoes, shirt and cat 😻
I am not sure how much I will be able to get online during the week, there will be wifi in the hotel so I should be able to connect with you all.
But for now, I bid you all a fond farewell.
