Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 Susie G, I stayed at Duke Tower if you have any questions you would like to ask. We stayed in a suite which was perfect for us. My daughter, grandbaby(13mos) and I. We were on the second floor. I had no trouble going up and down the steps post-op. I felt very safe there and many of the people there attend the Duke University Rice Diet program. You will not feel out of place being a large person even when lounging at the pool. We enjoyed it. The hospital is easy to find from there and there is a mall nearby to give you something to do. Darlene Susie G. wrote: > Dear Zoey, > Oh, I just adore that name and always did.
