My husband is an at home peritoneal dialysis patient and we are planning our first trip since he has begun PD. PD takes place at night in the room while sleeping. We are thinking 10 days based in London will work as moving from place to place will not work for us due to the large number of supplies we require. It's also a direct flight for us from Vancouver, which will be infinitely easier from a stress perspective.
Picture if you will 20 cases of wine - this is the approximate size of the shipment of supplies we would need to stack in our hotel room. For this reason, an elevator/lift is required.
We also require a dresser or table to lay out the equipment next to the bed. Sometimes we need to shift furniture around to make it work. An ironing board will do in a pinch. A room with 2 queen beds (or 1 Q and 1 twin) would work as well, as long as the beds are fairly close together.
We would also need to have the supplies shipped to the hotel in advance of our arrival - so the hotel would need to be able to store them (or we would pay for an extra night and have the supplies delivered right to the room). We can't leave home until we are assured the supplies are on hand at the hotel. A friendly, helpful and understanding front desk would be wonderful.
We are more concerned about the suitability of the room than location.
Any London pros have a hotel in mind that might suit us? Your input appreciated. If there are any other PD travellers out there I would love to connect - please PM me. Thank you all in advance. I'm determined to make this work!
