The boy came home last week especially to meet his first niece and duty done, he's now taking a three to four week vacation touring Indonesia because that is one of the areas his company doesn't sail to, at least not the ships he has worked on.

For the past seven months I have been bothered by a very debilitating hernia. Here in Canada you are at the mercy of the medical profession when it comes to this kind of thing. After seeing my family doctor you are referred to a surgeon. That was a four month wait. Then after seeing him you wait for a surgery date at the local hospital. That was a two month wait. Finally I got a date, July 5th. Then I got bumped to July 18th. Very discouraging, but there is nothing you can do. But then this morning I get a call to come in tomorrow. The was a cancellation.

U crank is very happy. I'll let you know how it goes. I had the other side done ten years ago and it was instantaneous relief. Should be in and out the same day. Of course the upside to the Canadian health system is it won't cost me a dime. Worth the wait I guess.

Mr Quatro · 06-26-19, 11:42 AM

Wow! Good luck ucrank I had friend here in the states go through that, but he had the cash to get it fixed privately.

I heard about a man (a veteran of Afghanistan) in Canada that was a vet and he couldn't get any medical help and it was wound he had received in war no less.

I'd have to know more about that. Health care is free to all Canadian citizens. We also have a Dept. of Veterans Affairs to look after vets. That being said a lot of them are treated poorly, especially when it comes to PTSD cases.

Sailor Steve · 06-26-19, 02:42 PM

That's bad to hear, especially the PTSD part (and your own problems having to wait on their convenience). Our own VA is quite good on all fronts, including mental health.

I hope it works out alright.

Commander Wallace · 06-26-19, 03:01 PM

Just catching up on everything. I'm very sorry to hear of the difficulties you have been having Marcel and Steve. I hope things go well with your surgery, Marcel. Further, I hope you take the time to recuperate.

Let us know how things are going both after the surgery and your recuperation.

I hope things go well with your tests, Steve. Further, I hope they are able to get things sorted out for you and get you on the mend.

All the best to you both.

U crank, this h. can be very painful. Keep your head up, it will be much better afterwards - i wish you all the best!

Thanks guys. I am really looking forward to getting this done. I don't remember the last one being this painful. I didn't stop working. But now I'm older. And fatter.

Jimbuna · 06-27-19, 05:02 AM

Just back from the dentist having had the last three of five fillings.

Even though I'm absolutely starving I won't be able to eat for a few hours until the numbness in my lips diminishes.

u crank · 06-27-19, 01:16 PM

Well I'm back home from the hospital after surgery for a hernia. Seems to have gone well. I'm a little sore and still a little groggy but able to growl.

Commander Wallace · 06-27-19, 02:43 PM

I'm glad to hear things have gone well Marcel and Jim.

Take things slow Marcel.

Catfish · 06-28-19, 01:34 AM

Good to hear, hoping for a speedy recovery

Also for Jim, of course (dentists..

)

And Steve.

STEED · 06-28-19, 04:10 AM

Well there goes the fresh air and in comes the foul stinking rotten filthy dirty humid air from Europe followed by a heat blast tomorrow, roll on Sunday. Just doing a few things here and there today and of course having a nice cup of tea no milk or sugar.

I guess that was premature, wishful thinking. I am now back at hospital. There was some leakage and massive swelling. They opened me up again last night about midnight to fix it up. Might have to be in for a couple of days. Pain is gone though. It was bad.
