Clinics in Lemoa and Xepocol

On Monday, I worked in Lemoa with Josefina's group. We had a great day with 30 medical patients. I worked in the pharmacy, checked blood sugars and helped with glasses. This lady needed some sunglasses but we did not have a mirror so she could decide if she wanted them or not. When I showed her the photo, she was so excited to have them! I love it when patients are happy patients.


Today we had clinic in Xepocol. We had 13 patients today. We had a variety of patients. Many had stomach problems, many had a cough and one was early in her pregnancy.

One young man has problems with drinking once a month. During this time he does not know where he is and says he will not do it again but always does. We talked about his family and how it is affecting his children. I hope that something was said different today that will cause him to think about his actions and decisions. Sometimes people have to fall really hard before they know they need to change. I hope that he will return to the clinic again in January.

This is Gapsar and his dog Odie. Odie was camera shy today.

OK, tomorrow we are off to Mactzul VI..................
