Well, it hasn’t been the sunniest of Christmas’s in terms of Health or climate, the country as a whole has been struck down with flu, mainly due to the change in climate, as Summer creeps in late. Our family was no exception, Marcela thinks my Brother-in-law brought it here, he then left on 27th, toContinue reading “Happy 2022”

Disappointingly, we still haven’t had authorisation for my hip surgery from SURA, my Health are Provider, but we wait in hope. Marcela with much perseverance, has organised a Company who will come and look at the Solar system, and see what can be done, they will contact us on January 10th… So we will seeContinue reading “Happy Christmas”
I’ll Know Soon
Last week we went to El Santuario to collect some packages from Jaime’s house, and on leaving the car park, I stepped on uneven ground, and my hip went, Marcela went on alone, and I waited in the car. As a result, on our following trip to Rionegro, we went to an Orthopaedic Supplier, andContinue reading “I’ll Know Soon”

Health Service Providers in Colombia

It\’s Been a Quiet Week
The bedlum seems to have died down, thank goodness, so there isn\’t much to report. The Montero is playing up again, I took it to the Mechanic I use, because I was worried about the oil leak from the crankcase, and a noise had developed under the car, so I was thinking maybe the crankshaftContinue reading “It\’s Been a Quiet Week”
Blind as a bat!
Another night of rain, at least it stopped in time for me to take Pépe for his walk! After breakfast I caught up with the news and the latest batch of friends undertaking the \’Ice Bucket Challenge\’, then I woke Marcela. We left here about 10am, and headed across the City for our eyesight testsContinue reading “Blind as a bat!”
Fuming!
I didn\’t get around to posting last night, I was fuming, and thought it better to wait until I had calmed down. We went for my medical appointment, only to be turned away, because we didn\’t have authorisation from SURA the insurance company that runs this Health Service, sorry…but I don\’t need authorisation, that isContinue reading “Fuming!”
