Check these out. Bill and nurse waiting to be checked
out. Juan was on the phone with the insurance company – they’d transposed a
couple letters in our policy number and instead of calling anytime during the
last 11 days they were trying to straighten it up while Bill was grinding his
teeth waiting to go home.
Willie was over-joyed to be back in The Driver’s hands.
Went to market to get Bill things to eat that he’d missed
and then on home. He fixed himself a big salad and then took a nap.
He was sent home with two different antibiotics for two
weeks and might have to get more. He has to go in on Saturday for a test just
to be sure things are still good.
A couple people have asked when our tourist cards expired
– if we’d be able to get out of Mexico
in time. I sure hope so they don’t expire until May 21st. Hope we
are home by then.
I had to laugh last night – I got in a Pulmonia and told
the very young driver where I wanted to go. I always tell them the name of the
big hotel across the street and as we get close point them to the RV park. So I
told the guy “Torres Mazatlan.” He gave me a blank look and said, “Mazatlan ?” “No, Torres Mazatlan .”
Another blank look, “Torres?” So
I motioned straight ahead – and said, “Cerritos .”
That’s the area at the end of the street we are on. Thinking he has to know
where that is. Nope. Another blank look but he did start up and headed the
right direction. About half way through town he pulled over to the curb and
stopped. I’m saying “NO NO Cerritos.” But he stopped to ask a guard in front of
one of the stores where Torres Mazatlan was. What was this his first day on the
job? Anyway the guard looks at me and asks “Where you want to go?” I said “Torres Mazatlan.” “Oh, Torres Mazatlan .” “Si.” So he
starts telling the driver to go over the bridges around the marina [I can
understand most of this conversation so I’m thinking this is okay.] The driver
is nodding his head, okay okay. Then the guy giving directions says he doesn’t
know how to tell him where Torres Mazatlan is. I reply don’t worry if he gets
me that far I’ll point it out to him. Thinking boy this driver is going to be
really confused when I have him go right by the Torres sign. But off we went
and after we got around the corner past the last bridge I just kept motioning straight
ahead wishing I could remember which word meant straight derecho or derecha. Now I know derecho means straight. But we finally made it. When he left me off
in front of the RV park I pointed across the street and said, “Torres
Mazatlan.” Got a smile and a nod. Good luck to him and his passengers for a few
weeks.
Glad I have Bill back.
He is up now and checking out 11 days worth of stuff on
his computer. Funny how even when he is sleeping it doesn't feel so empty in here.
Oops almost forgot to back the laptop up. I try to remember to do it at the end of every month.
Glad to hear Bill is home and on the mend. Hopefully things will just keep improving. Take it easy and enjoy the sunshine!!
