[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 701687, member: 355"] I was feeling pretty confident that I had figured out her game but I just got a telephone call from Global Affairs Canada. The Consular Advisor in Thailand has been in contact with my daughter (and the FB friend in the US). They called to advise me of the basics that I already know, using phrases that daughter used (endometriosis, some kind of cyst rupturing, sepsis/septic shock). He also told me she is having surgery in a few hours, although he didn't know any of the surgical details. He reminded me that the Embassy/Government will not pay for out of country medical expenses and that she might need my financial assistance. I told him that we are pretty much tapped out from her 6 other hospital/jail charges over the past 2 years. Even though I'm reeling from her earlier email, I sent a new email (almost identical to my previous one) to daughter and wished her well for the surgery and recovery. She's active on social media right now but I am blocked. Clearly she is not in septic shock. If she is having surgery, I'm suspecting that its a laparoscopy (diagnostic) rather than laparotomy (exploratory). But I guess time will tell. Albatross - we should start a book now so that future parents in our position would know what to expect! So sad that we have this in common. Lil, I'm sticking to our poor financial situation (which it actually is at this very moment). [/QUOTE]
