Jennifer Brady won her appeal before the Nova Scotia Supreme Court after a years-long battle, drawing a public apology from the premier over how the province handled her case.
RELATED: Two women are taking the Nova Scotia government to court after they say the province denied their out-of-country surgery request. The pair ay their procedures are not elective, but necessary, to slow down their painful progressive diseases. Ashley Field reports. – Aug 4, 2022A Nova Scotia woman who fought to have the provincial government pay for out-of-country treatment for a painful leg condition is preparing for surgery in New Jersey.
“I can now imagine a time when I can take my children to the beach for a full day, or take them to Ontario without having to limit the trip,” she said in an interview Tuesday.Brady’s condition requires her to spend four to six hours each day in a full-body massage machine that helps move fluid in her legs to reduce swelling.
“Those infections not only threaten my life but also make the swelling worse. And that’s part of the downward spiral of lymphedema infections: more swelling, more infections, more swelling, and so on.”Brady spent more than $60,000 on a 2022 surgery in Japan after the province declined to fund her treatment. She said after that operation her swelling decreased and some symptoms were relieved.
