Hotel Dieu Hospital is currently my favourite Canadian health care institution. Emphasis on the care. Thanks to them, I know what I've been missing, so to speak: information and advice provided with the authority of experience along with being listened to and understood.
Questions answered. Blanks filled in. Erroneous understandings and misinformation corrected. More tests and screenings ordered and we'll regroup in a couple of months.
Best news of the day: my liver condition is believed to be drug induced (antibiotics), not chronic (the ANA test result is not significant after all) and the numbers indicate a fairly fast recovery at this point.
Worst news of the day: my brain spasms are unlikely to be caused by my liver nonsense. A new puzzle to ponder.
Tiredness and preoccupation with tomorrow's Rental Tribunal eviction hearing non-event have conspired to protect you from more details. Lucky you.
Despite the cause for the visit, it was awfully good to see Michael again. Thanks for taking the time to be there for me, sweetie. We should do that again, soon. Visit that is, not going to the hospital...
