I know a cousin on Chuck's Dad side of the family lived in New York. I believe he died still owing a hospital for a heart attack he had a year or so before. I just know in Canada you can have not a penny to your name and walk into a hospital and be treated, as long as you have a health card! Chuck had shoulder surgery which we were told would have been around $30,000 dollars in the States a couple years ago. He received six months of physiotherapy afterwards too which we didn't pay for. Today Chuck stopped by our doctor to make an appointment for a minor problem. The nurse said she would take care of it right now. He walked out feeling much better and no waiting for an appointment.<br />I hope you are able to get the help you need and soon.<br />Take care.Cat Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504271572051737490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113656230511810359.post-53548894445586656622017-06-26T18:13:06.504-04:002017-06-26T18:13:06.504-04:00The "Gorgeous home just down the street"...The "Gorgeous home just down the street" is gorgeous! I totally understand the frustration with your healthcare system. Waiting two months for an appointment seems unnecessary, but since there wasn't an obvious need it doesn't seem unusual. Recently, I tried to find a new doctor and most new patient visits were several months out. I am currently facing a $500 consult fee to get evaluated for treatment for my condition. If we go ahead with it I'm looking at tens of thousands of dollars in bills. We are trying to work with my health insurance to see what we can do about that, but in the mean time I sit and wait and my condition does not improve.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113656230511810359.post-25619819622191207102017-06-23T07:35:48.528-04:002017-06-23T07:35:48.528-04:00Hi Cheryl, the Summer is just whizzing by.

I am happy the doctor is only ten minutes away but he has way too many patients. <br />Growing up my parents loved to take day trips and we three kids always went along. Chuck grew up in a family that never went anywhere. We both just love to see new things so we hop in the car and away we go!<br />Have a wonderful weekend!Cat Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504271572051737490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113656230511810359.post-56432925258842834422017-06-23T07:31:35.367-04:002017-06-23T07:31:35.367-04:00Hi Karen, Yes, you are right about the weeds.

Last year we were in a drought and could barely keep the gardens watered, what a different a year makes.<br />I do love my new dress too, I do wish it had sleeves but I just wear a shrug over my shoulders and thats loves the problem.<br />Take care.Cat Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504271572051737490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113656230511810359.post-33643791518275707292017-06-23T07:27:52.057-04:002017-06-23T07:27:52.057-04:00Hi Granny Marigold, glad you enjoyed the Mourning ...Hi Granny Marigold, glad you enjoyed the Mourning Dove photo and yes it does look like they are statues. I just happened to notice them and they nicely posed for a few minutes for me.<br />I find 99% of my dresses at thrift shops. I can only think of a couple I bought new. I don't think I have ever paid more than $10.00 for a thrifted dress. One new dress I did pay I think $50.00 for but I have worn it for probably 11 or 12 years now. It is my go to dress for funerals (in the Summer) dinners out, girls days out......I definitely have got my moneys worth out of it!<br />Have a good day!
