    thank you.

    these hospitals are in canada.

    I cannot believe for the LIFE of me that they would send someone in HIS condition home wihtout ANY antibiotics. it's just CRAZY to me

    and REALLY? this is all over the stupid H1N1 hysteria. they are hospitalizing ANYONE and everyone with it and kicking out patients that NEED to be there.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    That's our great Canadian health care system in action.

    I pray for your step dad to recover from his illness and the mistreatment.

    Prayers for your stepdad. How horrible what he had to go through on top of his ailments and surgeries.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Go to the CBC! AND pick up the phone and yell at the MLA/MP!

    The media will grab this and run with it...

    14 people have died in Alberta with H1N1 - the vaccination clinics have been poorly planned, with everyone from elderly to children lining up OUTSIDE for hours to wait...and it is NOT warm here.

    Does your stepdad qualify for a home nurse or someone from the Victorian Order of Nurses? (VON)

    It's maddening - but if your stepdad was exposed to anyone with H1N1, he would likely not survive catching it.

    PRAYERS that he gets real help soon!

    What a scary situation. I just can't believe that they actually sent him home after such an invasive procedure - and with no medications either. Absolutely reckless.....

    My prayers for your step dad - that he will be okay - in spite of the inadequate care and shoddy treatment.

    If this is what the U.S. government is striving for in health care reform, then God help us all!

    I was thinking along the same line as catty1- would your stepdad qualify for visiting nurse services? With the right care, he might be better off to recover at home, away from people with things like viral illnesses and antibiotic-resistant infections. Did they remove the drains before he went home? Some of the newest antibiotics (like Cipro and levofloxacin) are just as effective when taken as a pill as they are when given intravenously.

    Prayers for your stepdad and you! (((HUGS)))

    he's hanging in there.

    he was in pretty bad shape yesterday. couldn't eat anything at all. today he's a little better... at least he is eating. but he's just been hanging out in bed and sleeping which is good and bad. he is supposed to get up and move around but it's very hard for him right now.

    he's handling it as best he can. my mom has to go back to work tomorrow so he will be alone which worries us a bit though

    thank you for asking




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.
