Today, we had our clinic in Lemoa. It was a small clinic with only 12 medical patients.
One lady brought her lab work so she can have a cataract removed when the next group arrives in Montellano. She and her family are very excited about this. She had her right eye done last year and has had excellent results.
If you remember, a few weeks ago Ruben had a diabetic patient with a blood sugar of about 540. He returned to clinic today for the third time. His blood sugar is still out of control at 425. When I started talking to him about his diet, he smiled one of those smiles that let you know something is not right. We talked about what he had eaten on Sunday.........16 tortillas, two pieces of sweet bread and 7 tamalitos..........now we know!!! He knows he is maxed out on medication and the next step will be insulin.
Tomorrow, Gaspar, Manuel and I will go to Chutzurob.
