Medical treatment in BG by JimJ
Stand by for more reporting on hospital treatment here in BG fairly soon...I'm going in for a TKR (Total Knee Replacement) on Tuesday and should be out of hospital in about 6 days, following a bit of rehab. First challenge will be getting up those ...

Good news! I've been unable to produce even a flicker of life from my thigh muscles, let alone raise my straight leg even a millimetre, and the physios don't work at the weekend ( and aren't much cop here anyway). I've had to improvise a sling to ... Read More

I'm not sure how devout Muslims, Jews or veggies would fare here: some form of pork is served for pretty much every meal - apart from chicken a coupleof times. Read More

I may have solved the Cardie Case - she came in this morning without it; both arms are covered in tats. She put in a new canula yesterday evening, which promptly fell out during the night - it took three tries to get another one in..I was also ... Read More

My urine is very dark but the docs and nurses never look at the bag, and the cleaners just drain it into a bowl and throw it down the dunny. I'm going to die of dehydration just to spite them all! 馃槑 Read More

@janemulberry I'm now the proud user of a raised loo seat with built-in grab rails. Today is Day 3 post-op and I'm still not getting a flicker out of my left thigh, which means I can't straighten my leg to get into position to use the walker without ... Read More

Well, I'm still alive - but the kicking part is definitely wishful thinking!I'm sort of moving about; they've given me rather rickety walker and I'm still on my tod in a "private" room: their bumf tells you the extra cost for this privilege but the ... Read More

Well, I've survived this afternoon's operation - so far. It was a little disconcerting to lie on an operating table, completely conscious, listening to electric saws essentially amputating the lower half of your leg and then hefty hammers banging ... Read More

If I'm following your question correctly, you need to send the document and its attached apostille to be translated. The apostille is as important as the original document, and the translation should include the complete wording and content of the ... Read More
Capital gains tax when selling property by Jules999
Apologies if this subject has been covered in a previous post. We are hoping to sell our house which is company owned. One agent informed us that there would be no tax to pay because we have lived in the property for over 10 years, and the most ...

BGP.bg no longer trading? by AMK888
Hi everyone,I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.Back in 2007, my family purchased a few small rural properties near Valchi Dol. As was common at the time, we were advised to set up Bulgarian companies to own the land. The ...
@AMK888 They haven't filed any company returns since 2015 and abandoned their domain in 2018. If they're still answering emails that tends to suggest that they're just trying to make a few untaxed pennies as individuals. They haven't advertised any ... Read More
