Hello Everyone,
No news yet, I will post the outcome as soon as I hear; the good thing is that the therapists are carrying on as if nothing is happening at the moment.
The Hugh difference in being here is that all care and work with you, everyday is a day of moving forward.
We really are going to have to somehow get a place like this for British Columbians to have and use as they should not have to beg or be turned down for rehab or therapy.
It becomes a mindset and a way of life.
It really is a shame that the health minister, who you would think would immerse himself into that system and feel what his job should truly be, thinking more about the people he represents and the wishes of the majority. The way this minister has acted we might as well had an accountant in the position, at least if you are going to cut and gut the system there would be no doubt or false expectations.
I feel confusion from people thinking Chris should not be able to access this help, I am not sure where that comes from, but obviously they have never had to use or require the assistance of the system. Or deal with a government that has total control over every aspect of our lives at this moment in time.
Maybe additional pressure should come to be borne by the minister responsible for ICBC.
As I mentioned before it will be shown the government is responsible for the severity of this accident, the government is responsible for ICBC, the car insurer, (who cannot see that releasing some money to pay for rehab and make it possible for Chris to go home) the health care that we must fight to access(including splinting for legs and hand which we were not allowed to have at SMH we had to fight to bring in an independent orthotics person to do this and then we had to pay not the hospital, is this not mal-practise?), the programs we must access or home care help, as well as the courts and the archaic laws that limit amounts of payments and wording in laws that do not help the victim.
The legal counsel for ICBC will drag it out for as long as possible with the only purpose in being to deny funds to access rehab which in turn limits improvements to Chris’ health. The outcome for severe injuries is usually the victim dies while waiting for the trial. At this point the whole case is shut down and no further action against those responsible, they walk away.
Where is the justice, let’s not forget we the people make up this society we all are a part of, when did someone remove that safety net we feel we are covered by. Only we can change it, our voices have the power, but do we have the commitment?
Bye for now,
Thank you all for your support,
Kevin

Hello Kevin, Chris, and everyone.
I am happy to read that everyone at Ferintosh is working away, doing their wonderful job with Chris! Cheers to them!
So, you have heard nothing yet? The Minister and Ministry is really dragging this out! Two days before Chris' proposed discharge from HJCBI... Wow. Their lack of empathy, compassion, and responsibility is really overwhelming!
I am disappointed with the response from my MLA Stephanie Cadieux's Constitutency Assistant. It was so casual, you would think I was complaining about a parking ticket!
MLA Cadieux's Constituency Assistant's response to me and Janie, was copied to a Rob Manery of Intrawest and a Manjit Gill, a provincial employee. Neither Janie nor I have any idea who these two people are.
It is difficult to comprehend how some people and the Ministry can think that Chris should not have access to the help and care of HJCBI. I suppose it is because Chris is not their son, nephew, and friend.
I hope you and Chris have an excellent day tomorrow.
Cheers to you both and my friends at Ferintosh!
Love,
Larry
