Great to see you back Jim! Continued good health to you as well.
And aren't we fortunate here in Canada to have publically funded medical!
Absolutely agree with your statement. Eleven months in total, three different facilities TGH, Toronto Rehab, and lastly Bridgepoint hospital. No cost, no question that I received top notch care for my medical conditions, which were a number of serious medical issues. As luck would have it....I fell in the shower room at Bridgepoint, and broke 3 small bones in my left ankle. Fortunately the fractures did not require pins or metal wiring, but it set me back 7 weeks while I had a cast on my leg.
My single room was on the 7th floor over looking the Don Valley Roadway , and the Don River Valley parklands. I had a single room because I was tested and found to have a C deficil infection, which required all staff to wear gowns, gloves and masks in my room for about 5 weeks. I spent a lot of time watching the Hawks and Falcons who hunt pigeons in the Don Valley area.
I put my time in Bridgepoint to good use, learning some basic phrases from my Japanese nurse, Komiko. I now can greet some body in Japanese, say please and thank you, and tell them to have a good day. She was the best nurse, very effective, gentle and all ways smiling. Her English is superior and she has a degree in both Nursing and English Literature. JIMB.
