GHANA III the final tasks
30.01. - 28.05.2016
End February our next stay, this time for 4 months. We took British Airways via Heathrow. We started the "final" works and managed to get the water distribution system to work.
Not for long! The cheap Chinese fittings can not withstand pressure and we get (tinny) leaks and air into the system. This is no good! Version 6 should eliminate all problems by lowering pressure,
straightening pipe works and minimize joints. So far (24.11.16) it works!
The sudden death of Nancy's mother (alias "Sister") dampened our mood and Nancy is still down and got sick!
GHANA IV
after the 2nd Spondylodese (Rückgratversteifung)
06.09.2016 - 10.12.2016
After my successful operation ("Spondylodese") at the Triemli Hospital and Reha in Zurzach it got time to move on. Still a bit stiff and cranky we started preparations.
This will be the last stay with a return to our Home in Fahrweid. Kurt is moving out and we and Oliver have to vacant the place due to financial constrains. I got myself a resident permit for Ghana and will leave Switzerland. This means "By-By" to
the expensive "Krankenkasse". Billag, Taxes, and a hoist of other recurring costs. We will see how it works out and try to stay flexible!
International Health Care options are much cheaper but not available for persons over 75. I could only get a police for Nancy.
True but, as it turned out, it can be tricky!
