Did you know that Ontario has replaced hospital care with the CCAC? I had no idea but, guess what? They seem quite competent. I spoke with them today and found out that a lovely nurse will come and give me uber-gravol and morphine by injection when I get home from the hospital on Thursday and will return Friday morning and do it all over again:) Also, with this homecare the drugs only cost me $2.00 per dose - so never mind the 20% we pay usually, I get the whole batch of drugs for $20.00. I like this. I also get percocet to take after the lovely needles - I presume that is a good drug.
Best news of all, they think it's unlikely that I'll come home with a drain but said that the lovely Dr Mirsky will decide that once he's in there. No drain will make this a cake walk. I was NOT looking forward to a hose leaking parts of me. UKK! Keep your fingers crossed everyone and hopefully I'll avoid it. Cheers for now.
Tom had CCAC help after his triple bypass surgery. It was amazing and I couldn't believe the drugs were so cheap. A nurse actually came to the house every day for about a week and then every two days for a few weeks, and they sent supplies that were delivered right to the door. It was great. Love, Joanne
