Week of January 10 – 16 2010
Monday Larry and Ron called from Ed’s phone to a cardiologist in Tepic to make an appointment for his echocardiogram, which was set up for Tuesday at 11:00am.
Tuesday, Ron and Larry took the 9:00am bus to Tepic only the bus left late. So they got off at the first stop in Tepic where most of the people get off and got a taxi with two other people to share the cost which was 25 pesos. Then the taxi dropped them off at the wrong place, but where they needed to go was only four blocks away. They got there just before 11 but had to wait an hour before the doctor could see him.
The doctor had studied in Boston at Harvard.
The echocardiogram showed that he does have a small heart mummer but it’s nothing to worry about at this time. The cost for the test and seeing the Doctor was 800 pesos. The bus ride to Tepic was 160 round trip for two.
One of the nights this week we had thunder, lighting and rain, almost like being home but the rain is warmer.
We did make it to the beach one day and the water was cleaner.
