I liked it so much, I'm going back for more this week, after spending a week there in January. I think I'm costing my fund a fortune.

I was not in a fund when they did my back.
Seven weeks in a flash room with own bath, tv and a great view.
Excellent meals, morning and afternoon tea. I did pencil drawings of tea ladies and doctors so they liked me...I think I was getting the bosses meals...plus I visited everyone on my floor to cheer them up..
I helped a few with legal problems a couple of nurses had and the nurses would sit and chat for ages...they seemed to like my stories.
My surgeon was apparently one of the two best in the country and she treated me so good before and after...
Three angiograms, major back surgery, as I said seven weeks..cost $6 for a pack of Panedol on the way out...I doubt a fund would have got me better in fact I bet they would have thrown me out sooner...they scan me each year to make sure the problem has not come back.
Losing the pension had me thinking I would not get that sort of care again...
Waiting time..my doctor after I told him all my symptoms was on the phone saying they would probably opperate the next day..they didnt but only cause it was not exactly what the doctor thought was the problem..still fast action was needed else..no legs.
