Mercy me! I am in Milan

Little did I think, this time last week I would be dashing off to Milan.  Despite having young looking parents, active and in their 70's.  Accidents do happen!  Two cataracts, one misstep and a trip to an Italian hospital.  The Italian health system is different, which I shall describe later..! But sad to stay my parents three day break in Milan, has turned into something  different.  'Break' being diminutive. More like smashed shoulder.

I can say 'aviva' #aviviainsurance have been fantastic and have ' stepped up' immediately. Repatriating my father, who has some health problems and funding my trip to Milan.  So one whole day travelling I have arrived to take over the role of carer, as Italian hospitals only supply doctors and nurses, no auxiliary to help with personal care, families are e levied to do this!  Roll on tomorrow.  Mum I am here to help!  Well you have taken care of me all my life x
