Morning Thoughts--Health Care

I am going to try to rewrite what I wrote this morning and then disappeared.  I have no idea of why my blogger program isn't working. This will be a shortened version because it may not post. 

I am looking for helpers for the next emergency I might have and also for anyone else. I cannot afford another twelve thousand dollar private hospital bill so I will have to go to the public hospital. It is essential to have someone with you in those hospitals. A person who speaks good Spanish and English. You need a translator and also the same person has to act as your nurse. But people who are able and willing to do this are very hard to find. So far, after looking and putting up signs and asking everyone I know, I have found only six people to put on my list. I want to get at least eight and so far I only have one woman. I need women.

I know that most of my readers aren't living in this area. But if you do live here and you know anyone who is able and willing to be on this list, please give that person my information. I want to get this list out to people. When an emergency hits, then it is too late to start looking. 

Okay, let's see if this post publishes......

My blog isn't working. Hopefully I can get it fixed.

I can't change anything on it. I can't delete any posts. I can't publish a long post I wrote this morning. This is a test to see if this one gets posted or not. 

Well, it got posted and I was able to put on a new post about Gabriel but I am unable to delete the old post about him with the mistakes. It just isn't happening.... I hope Alex can help me fix this problem today..... 

My helper Gabriel Orea

Again I am putting information on here about Gabriel Orea. He is a driver and many other things. If you need help, he is the man to call. He will pick you up at the airport or take you there. He will drive you around to see the sights here. He will take you to the doctor or the hospital. You name it, he may be able to do it for you. He has been very helpful for me.

He also owns a casita with a pool in case you are looking for a rental. Here is his information. Phone 331 348 3228 E mail: gabrielorea@hotmail.com

Morning Thoughts

I think that most of the Independence Day festivities are over now. But I may be wrong. I heard parties around my house last night and it is the weekend. There may be more things going on today and tomorrow. I am planning on swimming tomorrow and I hope it will be cleared out by then but it is hard to tell. Festivals here seem to go on and on....  A never ending cycle of parties, parades, and other events. Maybe not much will be happening until the Day of the Dead. But Mexico is full of surprises. There might be another festival just around the corner. 

I am feeling much better physically although I still get tired easily. Tomorrow will be the first time I will be in the water at the spa since before my surgery. I am really looking forward to swimming again. 

My friend Pat is still visiting from San Blas and her friend Donna showed up yesterday. Donna said it is very hot in San Blas now. I remember that about San Blas but I still love it. Maybe I will be healthy enough to go back on the bus with Pat when she goes home. I will see. I remember that beautiful pool at El Chaco..... 
 
              The above photo is of the pool at El Chaco.  What a beautiful pool, right on the ocean too. 
 
                     I hope to be in this pool tomorrow morning.

Photos of the Parade and Plaza on Independence Day

 
Children after children marching so seriously. 
 
 
 
 
I don't know anything about horses but this one was dancing and foaming at the mouth....
 
  
 
 
 
 
The plaza was so crowded that I could hardly walk through it.
