This regards insurance for my British gran on a European cruise, flying from Gatwick to Marseille where the cruise boards, and later the return flight. Mainly European countries are involved but stopping off in one or two African ports over the two weeks (these are often covered in European cruise cover offered by insurance companies)
My gran had a minor stroke two days ago, the doctors refered to it as TIA. She only appeared to have had her speech affected when first admitted to hospital, so no mobility problems due to the mini stroke. She is quite a robust old lady, much more active than your typical octogenarian and despite having lots often speech trouble in hospital that day (i.e using the wrong words or basically talking gibberish) and also forgetfulness and confusion she had made a near complete recovery by the next day. She only had minor trouble remembering Christian names (to be fair she always has) and slight confusion. Some of the tablets she is taking are being stopped for fear they helped cause it and she is also going to be taking more tablets to help prevent future recurrences.
She was due to go on holiday next Saturday 10 Oct (a week today) but hadn’t got insurance yet. As far as I know she doesn’t have any other existing medical conditions (or at least none that would particularly affect getting insurance or its cost). She is 82.
Do you know if she would be likely to be able to get insurance with any companies, if so, who? Also, if you know many companies which do you think would be the cheapest?
