I've been a cornea recipient twice now,back on the transplant list waiting for my third. Very appreciative of the donors who supported this by signing their donor card so others could enjoy a prolonged enjoyment of life.
This young ladies family will be so happy to know how she will live on in lives of others and how much as myself truly appreciate this gift.
Medicine has come a long way from when I had my first cornea transplant 54 years ago,within 6 hrs. I needed to be prepped for surgery.Today I will be given a 3 day notice and need to have surgery within 7 days,yes the tissue is saved on ice.

So what happens when you have 4 apts. and hoping for only 3 tenants who drive ,but the fourth owns a vehicle.? Illegal parking takes over,neighbours tenants fighting.
Bylaw does nothing now to deal with parking issues,many tax payers have complained repeatedly.
This just in the cities pocket seeing transit is not doing well so they are hoping this idea works to maintain ridership on Gova.The city needs so many passengers to get the grant money I beleive.
Why put more on tax payers shoulders of pinning neighbour against neighbour.?
Bad idea.!

Older adults with high risk should get RSV vaccine, health unit says

Publically funded ONLY IF you have a family doctor. I no longer have a family doctor due to his unexpected death so I have been going to the same clinic for 3 years,mainly the same doctor.
I asked at this clinic for the RSV needle & when I got to the pharmacy to pick up the vaccine I was told the cost was $270.00 dollars. I questioned why as I am over 60 years of age.The reply was it has to be administered by a family doctor. I called my MPP and they did not know this.
So being a senior & in the proper age group but because the government cannot supply me with a family doctor, I am targetted to having to pay this amt. out of my pocket.?
Good thing my private ins. picked up some of the cost.

But the liberals had how many years to build homes.? Housing in Sudbury has been needed for a while now and only being a few weeks from an election Serre talks about a critical need for housing.?
Definitely an election ploy.

I recall seeing the grand opening of this home welcoming the patients in,transferring from the old to the new. telling these seniors how they will like their now home and more. Ever since almost day 1 there have been these kinds of issues.
Are these the same staff,why is this a problem now.? Or was there a problem at the old place too but nobody inspected as it should of been.?
I do remember my friends whose relative lived in the old place having questions concerning care, so possibly these same isses were transferred too.??

This sounds all sounds like staff issues.? Are they not qualified to do the job they were hired to do, or what is the issue.?
Maybe we should start at the top of the chain,supervisor,head floor nurse.?
Many of these elders have no family to speak for them.Obviously big issues in this new home hope the MLTC continues it's inspections.

Wonderful.! More added onto the aged old roads,plus water whoas.But hey let's build new useless not a priority arena & library.
While cars get wrecked,homes flood or have no needed ammenities our mayor & council have visions of other tax payers money being spent needlessly.
