Public Health, hospitals, independence, dependence, age, Carpe Diem, provision for old age, pension, nest eggs, wealth, poverty - all this difficult stuff I never want to think about, these are the issues that took over this week.
My almost 90 year old mother fell and broke her elbow, which has thrown me into dealing with completely different issues in addition to the current fixing my studio, apartment etc.
She (we) had to wait around for 7 hours in the ER to get attention , fasted 24 hours instead of 6 while waiting for surgery which started 10 hours after schedule - here is the resulting cast. Its heavy and its huge.
Now she is back at her wonderful Beit Protea home, where warm and wonderful people take care of her and we hope she recovers completely and soon.
