Well, I'm glad to see you're on the mend – humor and all. <br /><br />I don't know how invasive your stitches/surgery was, but my French doctor told me the same thing. However, my other Doctor here, and he's German, told me the doctor was full of crap. He told me to keep the wound dry, clean and covered after swimming. So I brought beseptine with me, cleaned the wound after swimming, and kept it dressed--except when swimming. (We went to L'ile Porquerolles). It didn't even sting. Just use your best judgment.Samantha Véranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446488761214047647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19239345.post-53670761821668890712011-06-26T17:44:22.731+02:002011-06-26T17:44:22.731+02:00It took me a while, but I learned to never let the...It took me a while, but I learned to never let them cut in front of me no matter what queue I was in.Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19239345.post-80311189176100396962011-06-24T20:12:35.344+02:002011-06-24T20:12:35.344+02:00The French health care system, it is a thing of le...The French health care system, it is a thing of legend. Fortunately I have not had to deal with it on any of my trips. <br /><br />I think anything that they can talk about is their favorite thing. My friend bought a vintage jacket while we were there and it had a mysterious insignia on it. We asked the waiter what it was and he didn't know, so he asked the neighboring table. This led to a 45 minute discussion of secret war time organizations and multiple smart phones searching the internet for info. Anything that can be a conversation will be a conversation. <br /><br />Get well soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19239345.post-11627265106852060222011-06-24T02:56:33.764+02:002011-06-24T02:56:33.764+02:00I think a favorite topic of French people is the w...I think a favorite topic of French people is the weather. Thanks for sharing the lesson about the doctor's office in case I end up in one when we are in France.Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084254959003451085noreply@blogger.com
