Your grandmother is really lucky to have such a wonderful caring granddaughter on her side. I know what you mean about the "system" being slow. No, I'm not in Canada but I can tell you I spent many an hour hounding the insurance company to approve better medications or the doctors to listen to my husband's symptoms instead of just saying it was an "infection". Thank God I never gave up. I never wanted the diagnosis of cancer for my husband but I always wonder how much worse it could have been if I hadn't demanded they do more tests.
You Go Girl!!!!
