Lots Are "Gone"

But not all.
I'm writing of 'American Indians.'
Please feel free to correct my figures or to add to them:
Peru:      14   million
Mexico:    12   million
Bolivia:    6   million
Guatemala:  5   million
Ecuador:    3   million
U.S.:       2.5 million
Colombia:   1   million
Canada:     1   million

As you might guess, these are meant to be contemporary population figures.

In my youth I think that there were still over 50 Indian languages spoken in the Us. I wonder how many there are now.

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

Malaria?

Is there a lack of anti-malarials in Ecuador?

The people in this part of Ecuador see very little of malaria. However, as I visted several drugstores I heard people asking for ant-malarials, including quinia. They were being that there was nothing available. Asking a phamacist if that wasn`t unusual, I was told tht it, indeed, was. He repeated that there was pactically no malaria here, nor in the Guyaquil area, and that most was found in the amzonas.

In the Process of mostly Ignoring a Diagnosis.

Well, I left the hospital at least on day before expected.
I feel to weak to give detailed explantions and am probably too ignorant to do so. Still I feel compeled to get some of this off my chest.

I went to doctors and to the hospital looking for a diagnosis for my lack of energy.
Today I was told to treat for thrombosis and uremia, and for some gripping chest infection I have.

Well, I planned to treat the chest infection and will do so. However the doctors know that my energia preceeds my chest infection.

The uremia, after many of hundreds spent on high-faluten tests, was based on one day of my breathe smelling of urine. I wonder if four days of constipation and a meral of shushimi, whatever Japanese call raw fish.

The thrombosis diagnosis din not procede from the large stack of lab results I have. Damn! Damn, I remember now that I did not get back the fotos, printouts, and cds explaining my very complete heart scan I had. Many facts do point to a heart problem. I also rermember that I jus lost $18 container of orange flavored psyllium fibre which I bought for my constipation. Double damn!! I mentioned a long past thrombotic experience of mine  to a doc and he metioned it to a cardiologist who saw some suggestion of present tendency to thrombosis when he looked at my leg.

Not many facts from the more than a dozen tests I took.

Now I do believe that two seperate tests completed not may days apart showed a big change in ....... in already large ..... creatin level.

Succesive drops in my need for blood pressure med, ought to it sees to to suggest something

I'm sure the doctors are on to something and I will keep thrombosis and uremia I mind, BUT I don`t want to spend months and thousands on something that is not directly associated with my lack of energy.
also my recent drops in pulse rates and bp pressure seem to have more to do with drop in energy then does a dot on leg or a smelly beath.

Cuenca

I´m in Cuenca, Ecuador.
Have heard from Rex W., Gary C., Bridget, and others.
My email records have been cleared for me by persons unknown, but I think that it is back to business as usual, unless my bank account begins to drop faster than usual.
