Thanks, Rita The Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla does have a hotel almost next door since people come from all over the world to Scripps. Your email was timely cause Dr. Waltz just answered mine re the procdures, but did not really specify days in between. I think the hotel is the way to go. I"ll look into it.
