tashy - this is another way of looking at it. The money you'll save by going public can be spent on physio if you have lingering SPD issues.
So true. I spent $3K on various therapies last year. Or we could put it towards the education fund.

I think I'll have to find out more about the private room/Dh staying over option at RWH. It just seems to be the luck of the draw. I don't suppose I could transfer to stay at FPH afterwards?
