San Cristobal Warms Up

April 5, 2009

Alcatraz flowers grow wild around San Cristobal.

We're still in San Cristobal and I continue go with Sergio on our daily medical field trips. Some of the new cases that pop up still surprise me: one lady with a 5"X5" full skin defect on the back of her neck, and gentleman with a recurrent kidney tumor (cancerous) extending out from under his ribcage and breaking through the skin. Of course there are stories behind why they wait so long to see someone or why they come to Don Sergio. The museo clinic continues to be busy with the usual lower leg ulcers.



Some villages the young children follow us shyly.

Bruce continues to workout daily and concentrate on building his shoulder back to where it was...and hopefully beyond. The weather has been perfect with occasion rain to liven up the greenery. The nights are so comfortable now that we don't have to layer ourselves in blankets.



Daily Bruce jogs up the steps to the top of this hill in the background, where there is a row of exercise equipment and a climbing wall.
