Today, Sept 6th, I called St. Boniface Hospital cardiac sciences. Quite honestly
the wait has grown. There are always more urgent/emergency cases and people awaiting surgery. St. Boniface Hospital services all of Manitoba and Northwest Ontario for cardiac surgery and they have limitations.
The nurse anticipated that surgery won't be until November 2013. Granted, Jeff is not experiencing symptons, and others are. I guess we should be happy that he is doing well.
Others have aneurysms that are twice the size of Jeff's. It's just that "aneurysm" is a scary word; it used to mean that the person had died from it; past tense Now with the more accurate testing, they can determine the size of it. Some people did not know that they had an aneurysm until being checked for something else and then it is found accidentally.
We were told it would be a good idea if people wrote to their MLA or the Minister of Health to remind them of the long wait times for these services. Long wait times cause families and patients added stress. Politician's don't consider fixing things about complaints until election time when they are trying to sway the voters.
Anyway, that is my soap box speech for today. I guess we "should not be worried about tomorrow because tomorrow has enough of it's own worries." God is sovereign, He IS IN CONTROL , and He knows what He is doing!! TTFN (ta ta for now). Have a good weekend everyone. Love, Dorothy
