There's a move afoot not to pay for skiing accidents at all, but to require people to take out special insurance, the reasoning being if you're silly enough to hurl yourslef down a slippery mountainside with two boards strapped to your feet you deserve to pay the price. We should get 80% of the cost covered, but the rest we'll have to find. On the other hand, it's bloody good healthcare, and we've saved on 10 years of complementary insurance. Surprisingly one of the doctors at the hospital said she didn't pay top-up either, and didn't consider it worthwhile.<BR/><BR/>ML and Cat - he has his moments, and only looks slightly demented there. I decided I like his face better than my own, at least in photos.<BR/><BR/>Julie - thanks dear, and for coming over at this time, bless you. He sends love and good wishes to Lyra too.<BR/><BR/>Robin, Rosie - home is indeed good!<BR/><BR/>Jan - as I say, he has his moments!<BR/><BR/>Z - hip hip!<BR/><BR/>HHB - you're spoiling him now...<BR/><BR/>Leslee - well we've all got them, but I suppose we don't think too much about them until they go wrong. The English are supposed to be over pre-occupied with bowels, the French with the liver, and it's true they do mention it quite a lot...<BR/><BR/>GJ - it's already a lot smoother, thanks.<BR/><BR/>Jean - yes that's good, I think, it should make recovery much better. I'm beginning to think perhaps he enjoys being talked about a little too much! <BR/><BR/>Zephyr - thank you too, I hope it will be fairly straightforward from here.<BR/><BR/>RR - thanks for coming over, and for the thoughts.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-19338471516531582632008-08-21T14:25:00.000+02:002008-08-21T14:25:00.000+02:00A wonderful photo...and such good news. i will vis...A wonderful photo...and such good news. i will visualize more good news floating in over the coming weeks.vicki johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564450760405974595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-51237313982591750472008-08-21T11:35:00.000+02:002008-08-21T11:35:00.000+02:00So glad Tom is feeling rather better, and that if ...So glad Tom is feeling rather better, and that if he does need surgery it can be the keyhole kind.

When I dislocated my shoulder ski-ing in French Switzerland I am proud of the fact that throughout the l½-hr reduction procedure (no anaesthetic) I continually screached <EM>impossible</EM> with the correct nasal intonation on the first syllable. Alas, what vestigial humanitarianism there'd been disappeared entirely with the presentation of the bill.
