Oh, I'm sorry you are going through this situation. It is really alarming. I wish that everything finds its way and gets solved and that your relative can finally be treated surgically and successfully.
I imagine the costs of such a delay as well. And the worry of course...all this together, it's like a ticking time bomb that can explode at any moment inside anyone going through this stress. I just ask you to take care of yourself and try to stay positive. You must take care of your health as well. And I know you have support, but it's not easy for anyone right now. It's your turn to be strong, you are the little cowboy, remember?
I'm a prepared and capable man, I have worked hard all my life to position myself that way and I use the skills I have...I'm also positive about how I deal with things and how things may turn out for the patient...but when it comes to being positive about the future of the human race...well, it's doomed in my belief and we're on the journey already. A race to the bottom and once there we'll find...the end. Humanity deserves no less though, it's our own fault...too much greed, hubris and ego...too much want over need and too many people seeking power...also, too many people deluding themselves that things are getting better.
Imagine if this happens in Australia, what will it be like in Cuba, for example? Or how it will be in another underdeveloped or extremely poor country?
It's good to know you have the tools and capacity, I never thought you less. I know that, but I still express my concern for you and your family.
Best regards
I know, that fact hasn't eluded me, I've said so in other comments on this post. Australia is an affluent country, and yet we have these issues...other countries...well, they have them too and worse.
