And Life Goes On - Our Medical MisAdventures

We've started a new Blog to record and highlight our Medical Misadventures - and the misadventures continue to mount. Since September, 2016 Fred has developed an intimate relationship with the Health Care system – in fact we both have. Fred’s started with pains in his chest; mine transgressed into a lot of advocacy and frustration in dealing with a broken Medical System and a spouse that needed a lot of care. We thought we had it under control! Huh! And the stories continue!!!

Fred’s Last Trip – the End of his Journey

Fred went into the Palliative Care Unit at St. Michael's on August 22, 2018.

He left us around mid morning, August 30, 2018 after a really brutal battle with pain and opioid toxicity.

This is the view Fred had out his window

Lo and behold, he was greeted by a big old buck with a marvelous set of antlers but he wouldn’t turn around so we have a marvelous ass.

He spent the entire afternoon dozing between two fir trees out on the lawn.

It's time to call it a day

The party's over

It's alright, it's alright... it's all over, my friend

I’m so going to miss him!
