It was a small clinic with 11 patients but it was a good one. I took vital signs and glucometer readings, Josefina consulted with the patients and Juan worked in the pharmacy.
The animal population has grown since last time I was here. There was a new kitten and new puppy. Both were receiving a lot of special attention. This kitten just loved sitting on the scales and several times through the morning needed to be moved.
Many of you will remember Miguel. When he was a baby, he was left on the door step of this lady. She has been his mother ever since. He had a cleft lip and palate and had four surgeries in Montellano at Clinica Ezell. He continues to do well and is very content. His mother brought him today because she is concerned with how his teeth are growing.
After all of the patients were seen, we had a wonderful lunch of chow-mien and tortillas........exactly what we tell the diabetics not to eat :) but it was wonderful!!We then drove to the home of a lady who is unable to get out of bed. She is very ill and will probably not live much longer. Sometimes we are very limited in what we can do and it is difficult.
Tomorrow we will go to Chuchipaca..........................for another adventure!
