After waiting a few weeks for a hospital bed to become available, my aunt finally had surgery on the 15 pound tumor in her abdomen. Only the tumor was now 25 pounds and the added weight caused another organ to tear. So, of course, more surgery had to be performed. That was six weeks ago and the dear lady is still in hospital. In their haste to help her recovery, a lung was punctured, but hey, a woman in her 70’s can bounce right back, right?
Well, she did! It was touch and go for a while there, but Aunt T. is finally on the mend. Another few weeks and they might even send her to rehab. This is when we really appreciate our ‘free’ medical care, otherwise we would have to pay for the hospital errors out of our own pocket!
