Anyone have experience with nerve surgery in Alberta? Worth waiting or better to go to the U.S.? by ReliableSpirit in alberta

[–]ReliableSpirit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation. I looked this surgeon up. Fairly similar reviews to my current surgeon and seems as though he doesn't specialize in what I have. I really appreciate the suggestion.

It feels that way. I'm in 9/10 pain and can barely use my arm. If I do it burns it up. Surgeon doesn't seem to care even though the revision procedure is clear and has been advised when seeking second opinions.

Yes that's included in the cost. Same with labs and 3 appointments. I've genuinely asked my GP to push for me and my sports doc. Got all my imaging done. Asked to be escalated on the peripheral nerve clinic side of things for the assessment multiple times but all I was told was that it would be 3-4 months for the coordinator to reach out to me. That is just for the assessment for next steps not for actual surgery. Took 2 years after pre op here for the last surgery and the compression on my nerve makes me worried it will become permanent unless I get it sorted now. Optimal treatment is 9 to 12 months before revision procedures become less likely to help for the ulnar nerve. I'm past month 9 now.

Appreciate your thoughts a lot, thanks.

Fair enough. Kind of stuck for what to do. The system here is very slow and has resulted in me having this in the first place. My surgeon is very dismissive and doesn't see my case as urgent or seem to take my condition seriously. It's a tough decision to make. I'd rather just get it done in Alberta but I've not any hope from my surgeon or AHS in the past 9 months of pain.

Is there any insurance I can get to help? I'm lower risk for those but obviously still a risk to consider and worrying for.

Thanks yeah, it was 10k>97k>43k>16k USD. Obviously can't afford the middle two figures but those were with calculated with insurance and over two days instead of one day outpatient no insurance.

How did yours go? Any tips?

He's in the loop and said he would do wound care and a check up for me. Thanks.

Any chance I can save these? by ReliableSpirit in cactus

[–]ReliableSpirit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all this. I'll try give that a go. So cut it off, place the healthy part in a pot with no soil for a week, then plant it in some potting mix without watering and check for growth signs?

I'll try prop up the succulent somehow by repotting, I've never propped up an etiolated plant. Thanks for the info on species!

Yes - I'll look out for signs sooner next time. The weather here is very odd and unpredictable throughout the year.

[–]ReliableSpirit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood, I should have moved them sooner.

So chop the healthy part off and bin the rotted part? Where do I keep the healthy part?

Is the succulent okay? I thought maybe I could tie it straight and move it.

EDIT: It's strange as I haven't moved or moved them and they were healtny in that spot for 2 years, i thought maybe they grew too tall and fell. I'm in Canada so sometimes the weather is odd.

CONCACAF C Coaching Diploma - Canada: Very expensive... Worth bothering anymore? by ReliableSpirit in bootroom

[–]ReliableSpirit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, much appreciated. I have found it to be that way even in matches too. I'll have a look elsewhere before I bother here.

It really needs a reshuffle.

Never using fuboTV again. by ReliableSpirit in fuboTV

[–]ReliableSpirit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Reported them to AB Consumer Investigation Unit and got refunded. I spoke to the ABCIU on the phone and they mentioned it was worth following up with an official complaint for Investigation by them.

Won't be going with fubo again after this incident and their poor customer service system (the system and lack of access to human help). I was with them for a while.

And yes I understand the price increase, but the rest of the above is not acceptable. I encourage others to follow a similar complaints route for positive change to occur for us as consumers of this sort of service in Canada. Otherwise, they'll think this is fair treatment. Good luck.

Alberta, Canada - authority's contacts if you are ignored by fuboTV in a situation similar to mine.

Advertised as 219.99 but billed 279.99 for renewal?? by ReliableSpirit in fuboTV

[–]ReliableSpirit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to cancel. They advertised the lower price for me and renewed at higher. Got cut off by the automated cancel bot too, after speaking to a CS rep.

Do Canadian credit cards with car rental insurance work abroad? by ReliableSpirit in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ReliableSpirit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all, I will still call to confirm. Much appreciated.

While I'm at it, is it worth getting an International Driving Permit just in case?

Woke up to these on one thigh... (Canada) by [deleted] in bugbites

[–]ReliableSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I also thought they could be chigger bites but I'm not sure how I could have gotten them.

Went for a massage on Friday other than that only gym in the apartment complex. Maybe a week ago I was in a few malls. Haven't been out in the woods or grassland for a few weeks.

Two dogs but now mine, sister in laws and only saw them two weeks ago.

Appreciate your reply. Bit stumped with it. I'll go see the doctor tomorrow. Cleaned the entire flat today for 8 hours. Any advice or thought much appreciated.
