Chuguexa, Tomas and The Silver Bullet

This morning we set out for Chuguexa and we arrived without any problem. When we arrived, we noticed that Tomas was not there to greet us.  Another Tomas, told us that he was there since the other Tomas had fallen and was not doing very good.  We made a mental note to visit him.

The clinic went well but it was a diabetic clinic.  Most everyone was out of control and it was for a variety of reasons. Some people had not come for a few months to refill their medicines and others just were not watching their diet.

This mother brought her baby to see us and she was precious. She is only 3 months old but the parents do not have a photo of her so I told the mother that I will print a couple of photos for her.  She is a very content baby.

When we finished clinic, we went to visit Tomas. I was very sad when I saw him. He had fallen and had scraped his shoulder. He was very weak and tearful.  We sat and listened as he told us about his fall. He had been bathing in the tuj and fell as he was getting dressed. Now, all he can do is shuffle and his family helps him a lot.

We gave him some medicine that he needed and then we prayed with him and his family. When we finished, the family served us lunch.

When I arrived in Chichi, I ran a few errands and then it was time to meet for dinner.

Since Jennifer owns the wheels, also known as The Silver Bullet, she sweeps through town and picks us up.  Shes lives next door to her so that is her first pick-up, then they came to my house and then we proceeded to Carol's house.  Chichi does not have many restaurants to chose from so we decided to live on the edge and leave town.  We drove a few minutes down the highway to what us to be an old mill.

It has been very cold, so we stayed pretty chilled through dinner. The food was decent but the company was a lot of fun. The peacock asked us for a photo so we could not turn it down.

Shes and Jennifer are physical therapists at ASELSI, close to where I live.  Carol was the director there at one time, but now she is working some with us .  We are not all here at the same time very much.  Shes goes to Xela every weekend.  Jennifer will be leaving for the states and then I will be leaving a week after her. Carol will be going to the states this fall for several weeks. So, we take advantage of these rare opportunities.  Our main focus is to keep The Bullet in shape!  It is ALL for The Bullet!

Tomorrow, we will have clinic in Lemoa. It should be a busy clinic and I look forward to it.
