We met a couple outside the medical centre yesterday. She had suffered a minor stroke and had spent a week in hospital. Now, back at at home, her blood pressure is high and causing concern for both her and her husband. Hopefully the drugs that the doctor prescribes will help to control the problem so that she can enjoy good health again.
Later we met another couple in the VaiVen. He'd suffered a major stroke not long after coming here to live. Although he has made an excellent recovery , he still can't walk easily and he has bad and good days. As his wife remarked, we are now paying for the excesses of our early lives.
Both couples were full of praise for the medical system here in Spain. The speed at which the doctors and the local hospital act; the level of care and attention that they show impressed them . It makes us feel confident that, as far as our health is concerned, we are in the best place.
