My parents (DF 82 and DM 80) have always been avid travellers. They have been all over the world and have over the past 15 years been on dozens of cruises. They love it.
They are both very young at heart and both mentally astute but have a few niggly physical things.
My dad has recently had a knee reassignment- which is surgery to his knee replacement. It all went well but there have been some complications with swelling/hotness which the consultant believes to be a minor bleed inside (no infection).
The consultant has told him he is now free to travel so my mum has been trying to get travel insurance. They know that it's going to be costly - they have the money so that's not a problem.
She has rung a couple of places this morning and both have said they won't insure them. She's now nearly in tears, very emotional and is just giving in saying that's it - they have can't travel anymore.
Im amazed at her attitude as only a few weeks ago she was looking at various cruises and making plans ahead of the hospital appointment.
Ive sent her links to Staysure and Just Travel Cover. Is there anyone else who will do insurance for over 80's still under a consultant. Any recommendations would be great.
Thanks
