I am not really sure how to respond to your email. I wish I did. I live in the US so I am not going to be much help with what you might need for your insurance. Can you be a little more specific as to what you need to help you? I will help in any way I can. I feel helpless right now because I don't know exactly what you need. So if you can give me a clue I will see if there is anything I can do. I'm so sorry I can't offer any more than that at this time. Just let me know something. It does sound like you have adhesions though. I hope you find what you need to get the help you need. Keep us updated and let us know how we can help.
Love, Jenny
