This Thread is about how a person who had a stroke in May 2021 is experiencing life AFTER the stroke. My Ups and Downs.

 

 Has anyone had radiation treatment in Australia over the last couple of years please?

 

Husband has just been given the costing and it doesn't make any sense.

Medicare pays $20,000

If you have to have radiation treatment you are expected to pay a further $620,00 a week for five weeks.

Even if you are on a Part Pension or Pension!

I've finally got my own DINOSAUR! Moment ecstatic TV historian Tom Holland, 54, dances with joy as he successfully bids £3,500 on a 119 million-year-old Psittacosaurus fossil and fulfils childhood dream

Author and TV historian Tom Holland, 54 (pictured), went home with his very own 97 to 119-million-year-old Psittacosarus (parrot lizard) skeleton, after placing the winning bid at Woolley & Wallis Auctioneers, of Salisbury, Wiltshire

This is the moment author and historian Tom Holland celebrates like he's won Wimbledon after fulfilling a childhood dream to own a dinosaur. Video footage from an auction house shows the writer shake both fists in unbridled excitement while sat in his chair after the hammer came down on his winning bid. He then stands up and takes a few steps to try to compose himself before leaping up and down in a celebratory dance.

 

Lovely to see his excitement, thanks Celia.

 

My husband was one of 12 children. When he was 6 and his brother 8 they both came down with Diphtheria and were admitted to hospital. Sadly his brother died and my husband survived. His poor parents were devastated and were fearful the other children might have got it as well but the others remained clear. 

 

Very sad Hola.

Wonder where the two unvaccinated children from the far north coast of New South Wales caught it from ???

More.

Shopper snags $330 worth of meat and seafood from the supermarket for just $47 - this is the EXACT time he went to score the 'freezer-filling' dealWhat is the best time to go to Coles for marked down groceries? Australian shopper spills

An Australian bargain hunter has shared the incredible savings he got on his groceries after finding a gold mine of heavily discounted meat at his local Coles. The savvy dad scored $330 worth of meat and seafood for just under $50. He managed to score 23 different meats and fish including eye fillets for around $3, lamb cutlets for less than $2.50 each, whole chickens for under $3, and a pack of eight chicken legs for $1.20. The man flaunted his finds in a popular Facebook group and revealed exact what time he went to the shops to nab the money-saving deals.

Well this morning has been an eye opener with regarding Health Costs here in Australia, perhaps someone would like to explain or why this is so?

Husband pays send highest Health Insurance.

We don't go out and spend or drink on the odd visit we have a lunch out.

So when he goes to get the costing for his treatment for his aggressive Prostrate Cancer it comes our rather weird.

Medicare pays out $20,000 for Radiation Treatment over a month, five days  each week.

He goes in each day for a week for the treatment.

His payment comes out at $620.00 over a five week period.

Now if he went into hospital for treatment it would be free.

The Private Health Insurance covers it, everything.

If you are a Pensioner and have the treatment it is free, thats if you stay the month in hospital.

So if you stay in hospital for a month and take up a bed and have all the nursing care and food it is free.

But if you stay at home and go each day for radiation it costs you $620.00 for five weeks.

Doesn't make much sense really does it?

Perhaps this is the way Morrison and his buddies liked to do this for Private Enterprise do you think?

Hubby is on a part pension too.

Hubby starys next week for his Radiation treatment.

Hi Celia - I don't know where the Private Health Insurance get their figures from.  Pensioners are so lucky not having to pay for any special treatment. The last 3 surgeries I had were totally free. I just had my 4th Covid vaccine Pfizer. After a couple of days I noticed my arm had started to swell with a very large patch of pink around it. The swelling has now come down to the elbow so I decided to go back to the Doctor to show him. He immediately put me on antibiotics to take for a week. He showed me photos of some patients who had a much worse reaction than mine, one photo showed the whole arm blood red and the other photo showed an arm black and blue . So I urge anyone who has a bad reaction to go and have a check up.

What bad luck Hola, my arm was a bit sore too, but luckily not anywhere near as bad as yours.  I hope Celia is okay, stacks of people in hospital everywhere with this new wave, hospitals unable to cope so stay well everyone and drink plenty of freshly squeezed orange juice every day.

Thanks Toot - I'll be fine in a couple of days. I did get the Flu vaccine last week as well.  Looks like masks are back in fashion, I don't mind wearing one in the supermarkets . 

Hi Celia,

Hope you are OK. Missing your posts over the last week.

Hi Celia

Hope your hubby's treatment went well,

 I presume that is why we are missing your posts ?
