It took 6 hours of them trying to get me into ANY UF hospital for surgery but not one of them would take me because I was in a “grey area” so they discharged me to find my own orthopedic surgeon. It took me one week to finally get the surgery done. Now I’ve lost all range of motion in my knee. So….. NO, they have not gotten better. I ended up needing another surgery and went to Jewett in Orlando. Lousy healthcare is the only thing I dislike about being here.

In 2018 I had a little heartburn on my morning walk. Went to my PC at TV Colony Health Center. My PC put through a battery of testing and 17 days later I got a triple bypass (Widow Maker was 95% blocked!) I’ll put that up against any timeline back up in the Boston/Eastern Massachusetts area where I’m from!
