Monday
The sun is shining and I’m “confined to quarters”…. Hell this ain’t no fun !!! I went to the doctor and after giving him my symptoms, he gave me an examination and announced that I had a “lung infection”. Hell, I thought it was just a cold that had gone amuck… Now my schedule is somewhat limited for awhile. I get up, take a few pills, drink some meds, get a “hammering on my back” from Louise, and then “stay inside the coach” for the next couple of days. After that I can wonder outside…just under our canopy for the next couple of days. Eat lots of veggies, “bistec” (steak) and “pollo” (chicken), and LOT’S OF WATER… It was amazing, we called this doctor on his cell phone, set up a quick appointment (2 hours hence), and he meets us at his office. He walks into the next room (his personal retail and wholesale pharmacy) and brings back with him a supply of prescribed medications. He gives me the instructions and we set up a follow-up visit for next Wednesday…”some time in the morning”. All of this cost me $107. The meds alone were $85 (and that is at the low cost here in Mexico), and the rest??? It was his “office call”….and to top that all off, it was SUNDAY !!! Hell I like it down here…
