The clinic is in Bangkok so plenty og things to do for your mother During my recovery period I was off around Thailand doing the tourist thing. Sitting is uncomfortable unless you move your weight onto the lower spine. I was able to hire a cab for a whole day for 4000 baht to take me to the floating market, the river Kwai and the Tiger Temple.
Thanks for the links. Canada is approximately double the cost of Thailand. But there are some benefits going to Montreal, but perhaps not surgically-wise. Possibly, for me it would be more familiar medical facilities, European language and shorter flight journey.
If it's Canada then I'd have to commandeer my Dad for this one and not my Mum. My Dad speaks fluently in half a dozen European languages. I think he would be honoured to be asked to go with me. It would be a little strange for him to be present at the birth of his daughter, but he got over the death of his son years ago. He's quite a traditional Italian guy. He's annoyingly charming with strangers and suffers from verbal diarrhoea. He'd need to be kept in check at all times.
But discussion of lady parts would be off limits, hmm.
(edit: My mum has thought twice about my dad coming with me and now doesn't think it's a good idea. Personally, even though he completely accepts me, he may actually be traumatised by the idea of being with me when the last vestiges of his son are eliminated. It'll have to be my mum in the end.)
