I think part of the reason I had to do this is she was acute by that point. That was nine months from when I noticed something was wrong.
Had my family doctor been able to provide me with information earlier on, I may not have had to take time off work. I may have been able to address the issue in a much easier way, but we were some eight or nine months along in the illness. I think that is an example of what happens when you leave it too long. The cost to the individual, the cost to the family, the cost to the taxpayers is much higher. I think supporting me earlier on would have been beneficial to us all.
