Good lord.

Hearing all these stories from people in the hospital system here in Halifax was very disconcerting today. I was actually getting terrified to get sick! Poor Bill Casey! Here he is about to have surgery on Thursday and he gets slotted in between 2 nightmarish calls about the system. Bill, take care and we are praying for you to have a speedy recovery!!

If you have a hospital nightmare, please call us tomorrow and share it with us, as painful as it might be. A lady called us today, saying her mom took a fall, got checked out at Cobequid and died the next morning! I felt so sad for her and she's consulted a lawyer about that case! The case with Margaret and her husband having the heart attack - so sad. He's in critical condition in hospital. Now Margaret said she was there at quarter to 10, but apparently the security guard says she showed up at 10:25. I'm sure we will continue talking about this story right through the end of the week.

Good hour with the Ecology Action Centre today. You have to admire their drive and they cover every environmental issue known to man! It's funny that the chicken issue has mobilized Haligonians so much - and given the EAC some great publicity! You can log onto their website: www.ecologyaction.ca or give them a call at: 429-2202.

Speaking of Louise Hanavan, she gets to keep her chickens for another month. Sheila Fougere is taking the issue to community council on Feb. 11th, so stay tuned - more on the chickens still to come!

Anyway, this afternoon is totally getting away from me. Have a good afternoon and stay safe!

Cheers,

Amber
