Cuenca

Cuenca in Eucuador is, and was, like Moralia was in Mexico -

A place for the good people to get away from the rif-raf

Pound of Flesh

Looked big to me. Had a piece of flesh cut from my left arm which both surgens held up to say,`Look at the size of that;` more than once.

I do feel better today. Felt well enough late Sunday to take the IVs from my arm and say good-bye. It caused such a commotion that I got quite nervous.

         ===============================================================

I do not plan to stay in Cuenca; however, it looks like I`ll be here, at least, a couple of weeks to get business taken care of. It is nice to be back in Ecuador again. They are not feeling the  economic down-turn, but here and there, ther are people holding their breath.

I probably called this post Pound of Flesh because of having a sub-conscious thougth about all the money I still owe here as I got ready to write about my arm.

Don`t worry! I have not plans to ask for money!

Health Update

Tests from yesterday show that I have significant kidney damage:
cyst, hard body, small part missing.
So far I have:
Emphasima,
skin cancer which may have spread to a lymph gland,
low blood pressure, whe I have had high blood pressuer sice junor high,
most of my articulations, including spinal column are stiff and sore,
prostate is enlarged,
and other stuff.
My complete lack of energy, it seems, may be related to kidney problems.
Been having a doctor appointment a day and a couple of lab tsts a day. Some days, two doctors appointments.
