I had mentioned Miguel last week, a patient what we saw in Chichi on Thurday. He came to see Noe, the physical therapist. Noe told me that they were going to work on some exercises that may increase his upper thigh strength. He agreed, that there was nothing left in the lower legs but maybe some upper leg exercises would help We are both very sad over the situation of this young man.
I talked to Nancy’s dad today. She remains in Xela and received hemodialysis five times a week. The father continues to want to donate a kidney. I have asked him several times if he has talked to the doctors about this yet. He has told me that he has not and I encouraged him to do so. It is hard not being there and only having phone conversations but someone must have mentioned it to him for him to remember it. He says that Nancy is some better and is less swollen. She has been in Xela for almost two weeks. The dad has stayed at the hospital while the mother is home with the other children.
We had several diabetic patients today. One man had a blood sugar of 501. He has lost a lot of weight and has been taking natural medicine. We started some different medicine today, talked about the diet and how to change a few other things and he will return on the 11th of December. His son, has also lost a lot of weight over 6 months had a blood sugar of 153. It was not a fasting blood sugar so we talked about diet and exercise and will see how he is on the day that his dad returns.
Tomorrow, I have clinic in Mactzul I with Teresa and Emilio………we will have a good day!
