Bella called about 9am to go pick her up at 10:30am so I
hustled off and got there on time. We
tried to check out but they would not let her out until the Doctor had seen her
again. So we sat in the room for a short
while and I was amazed at the huge private room she had (apparently they are
all private rooms in this Hospital Monte Sinai) with a daybed for guests to
spend the night plus a huge leather recliner.
The doctor came with an interpreter confirmed the medications Bella
would need, and set another appointment
in about 10 days time.
The doctor had checked on her almost hourly yesterday until
11pm so it was a very long day for him.
We can’t help but RAVE about the health care here. Getting booked for surgery within 2 days is
unheard of in Canada , and
the total cost was equivalent to a rush flight to Canada . Bella would have continued very sick if we
had waited for her Canadian doctor to come through, and had Septicemia
already. We simply couldn’t have
waited. This is another great reason for
living here.
A friend is just setting up a health care plan so I am
picking his brain about benefits and costs.
The previous ones we had checked out had big deductibles and a co-pay on
top of that, plus hefty premiums so we had opted to self-insure. This was the first time in 2 years we had
needed anything major and the cost is negligible in comparison.
Thank you to everyone for your good wishes to Bella during
her ordeal. She is doing as well as can
be expected and I will do my best to keep her still so she can heal better.
Between this medical emergency, problems with all our cash
being tied up in the Coopera fiasco, and our business websites being down, this
has not been a good week. Coopera
regulators are pushing us to the back of the line at every turn, not caring
about the hardships they are causing.
They do not seem to realize that many people had everything invested
there and don’t have access to cash anywhere else. It is time to sue those guys for discrimination.
Sorry, but I have been just too busy today to even think
about photography.
That was the day's
excitement, Cheers, Al
