Another Saskatchewan resident brings story of surgery delay to legislature

“They told us to wear our mask, get our vaccinations do everything and all of a sudden they just open everything up and so there’s no restrictions or anything so now people are getting more sick,” the Saskatoon resident said at the legislative building Tuesday.

“I just want my surgery. And the only way I’m going to get it is to fight for it and nobody should have to do that,” Rebalkin, who travels with the assistance of a walker, told reporters.“It doesn’t give you a good outlook on life and I’m not going to lie, I’m scared. I just want my life back.”Rebalkin was diagnosed with kidney disease over 10 years ago, but until 2019 was able to live without the need for dialysis or a transplant.

And while her parathyroid surgery date is now set, she says she’s been told there’s a chance the surgery could be cancelled or delayed, and she worries that every extra passing day could further prolong or worsen damage already done to her quality of life.
