No diesel, No brakes........a sad day :(

Today Lisa, Juan, Gaspar and I drove to Chuchipaca for clinic. We had a small clinic with only ten patients but some interesting ones. One lady has had difficulty having a second pregnancy so she will be getting some lab work done. On exam, Lisa found an unexpected problem so she will return after she also has an ultrasound done. Another patient was three months pregnant and began bleeding last Saturday. We will follow-up with her again on Wednesday in Lemoa.

The most pleased patient of the day was an elderly gentleman that has had difficulty walking for many years. Sarah and I saw him two weeks ago and he returned today to let us know he was better. He was so excited and thankful. He wanted to show us how much better he was walking and wanted some more of that wonderful medicine. Good job, Sarah!

Ok, I hesitate mentioning this because as soon as I do, I will jinx myself. We met Mr. Coke Man on the road home today...........he had run out of diesel and his brakes had stopped working. Notice the wooden blocks behind his back tires. That is just double bad luck! We offered him some of our diesel but we did not have a way to transfer it. We were lucky we did not have a long wait and thanks to Lisa, we had snacks to enjoy...............but Mr. Coke Man did not offer us a Coke :(

No clinics for two days. I will head to Antigua tomorrow morning after worship and visit with a few friends and return to Santa Cruz on Monday evening. Have a great weekend!
