All the stuff you never knew you needed to know about life in rural France.....and all the stuff the books and magazines won't tell you.

There is a great deal that I wish to say......

Adequate ventilation has also been regarded as...Image via Wikipedia
but the man in my life has been carted off to hospital, so life is turned upside down again. He is bearing up under treatment so far, so that's a positive. I just wish that after various experiences with French hospitals I did not feel that ever after I have to check and double check that he is actually being treated and not just left lying in a coma......thank goodness for the family in Belgium for whom nothing is too much trouble in troubled times.

    Frances, thank you. He has a fortunately rare problem which means that if he catches a bug he becomes paralysed. So far so good, but after his last time in hospital when I discovered that he had been left in a coma without treatment it was a great relief to see treatment started as soon as he hit the intensive care unit. Never believe what they tell you about the French health system...it is very much the curate's egg.

    Hadriana's Treasures, you have a fair bit on your plate as well...hope everything works out for you.
    He is stable, which is something, but I have to wait until he finishes the cycle of treatment before I can start breathing again.
    Could not believe the fourth day of the Test! I was sure that it would go into tomorrow and faced trotting into the hospital again with a tranny clasped to my ear!
    Wonderful result! I shall feed the dogs some steak to celebrate!

    The French health system isn't so bad, is it? All countries' health systems have their strength and weaknesses, I know.

    Hope he gets better soon!

    Hope they treat him better this time, and that you get to start breathing again soon. All the best.

    Zhu, the French system is great for elective surgery, but, in my experience, not so hot in other areas. All health services have their problems, but I get tired of seeing the French system lauded to the skies to newcomers to France. It can be good, it can be otherwise, like anywhere else. What happened last time is beyond belief in a hospital where he had been an inpatient and an outpatient patient for eight years.
    Thanks for your kind wishes.

    Pueblo Girl, thanks...they've stopped the deterioration, so that's one good thing. We'll just have to see how much damage he took but I'm hopeful that as the treatment was started at once he might escape without too many long term problems. Be nice to breathe again!

    Lis of the North, I discovered that he had become totally paralysed except for vitalorgans before starting to pull round.
    However, so far his treatment has been exemplary. What a relief!
    I'm still enjoying the Ashes result!
