I got this in an email and thought I'd share (haha!):
M and I went to visit his sister-in-law who had a very recent mastectomy due to a return of breast
cancer after 18 years. Apparently it is a different form of cancer this time. She is a strong woman and it seems they have caught it in early stages due to a timely annual mammogram. Her kids are all grown up now for which she is relieved. Do you know our hospitals are so crowded that this is a day surgery procedure, you are in and out in the same day! This is scary, but that on top of wait times for surgery is really stressful. She was lucky to have her surgery escalated, but this is not always the case and even the most critical cases can wait well over a month.
In other news, a guy at L's workplace had his identity stolen a couple of days ago. He found out his phone number and address had been changed and $900 worth of phones had been ordered for delivery to his 'new address' on his Fido account. They seemed to know his birthdate as well. In addition to that, 2 of his credit cards had been compromised. Their boss said she never puts anything in the garbage containing her address or her name. This is a scary thing.

Yes, identity theft is scary. Hope it never happens to us. That picture is so cute. But women have been known to freak out when they spot a mouse. Lol. I thought Canada's nationalized medicine was something to be admired, but I guess not.
Oh NO... that is so scary. I'll try to be careful with what we put in the mail from now on.
Like Gigi, I thought your medical system was much, much better than ours. Looks like it's got its problems too.
wow, thats scary, both the photo and the identity theft!
LOL that picture is priceless, love it. Cancer is never something good to hear about but it's good they caught it in the early stages, hopefully everything goes well.

oh this is hilarious and funny Christine but I can image perfectly one of my dogs making the same LOL
sorry about cancer hope all goes well soon!
Identity theft is on the rise. I went to a workshop on just this subject a few months ago. If your email address has been hacked, you probably need to run a check on your credit. Many times, it starts that way. Never put your birthday on anything, especially social media. ONce they have your birth date and a few other pieces of info, the thief can do lots of mischief.
My sister in law had a little case of Identity theft, she blamed her bank on it
