HSE Reimbursed Spinal Fusion with Healthcare Abroad
Check-in with Caroline after her 2023 Operation
“I hope my story can help other people to not suffer in pain, and to know that there are good people in Healthcare Abroad that helped me so much in my time of need. Every morning I get out of bed and thank them for everything they did for me. I thank my son Allen who found Healthcare Abroad online and convinced me to contact them.”
“I’m doing great now since the operation, I’ve got my life back. I’m not long back from a holiday in Okinawa in Japan, I really enjoyed my time there visiting family I have. I have also gotten back into photography and some gardening. Another of my hobbies is metal detecting, it’s great exercise that’s not hard on the body. I go for long walks now and know the sky’s the limit.”
“I have lost feeling in my foot and parts of my leg, the doctor said it was from being left sitting for months with my back injury, but I have to manage, I am grateful that I managed to get surgery before things got any worse. I would say to anyone, take your condition into your own hands, get in touch with Healthcare Abroad you will not regret it.”
Caroline’s Story from 2023 was included in the Irish Independent, we have included a link to the article below.
Woman Hails Miracle Surgery in Spain…
A woman left in excruciating pain in a wheelchair while on a HSE waiting list has spoken of the ‘miracle’ operation in Spain which has helped her to walk again.
Caroline Halpenny, an All-Ireland Irish dancing champion in her youth, flew to Benidorm on Spain’s Costa Blanca for life-changing surgery.
The 60-year-old says she feels 20 years younger after what she described as a “miracle” operation at a leading private hospital with the healthcare organisation ensuring she gets a refund for the surgery from the HSE.
