For weeks, Natalia Da Costa has been making a point of never skipping her trips to check the community mailbox for dozens of residents in her London, Ont., neighbourhood.
Like other people across Ontario, Da Costa’s surgery has been pushed back as the COVID-19 pandemic forces hospitals to cancel surgeries.
Still, she was making daily trips to the mailbox in hopes of getting a letter about a date for the procedure to fix an esophageal hernia that’s been troubling her.
On Monday, there was still no mail about the surgery — and the mailbox wasn’t there either.
“I looked and I looked, and I thought, ‘Have I lost my mind?'”
