I got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at
7:30.
Teresa had already left to go to the “neuva eps pharmacy” in
Envigado to get her cancer medication for free.
I had to go next door to Exito to buy a couple bags of milk. There was a light mist in the air so I took
my umbrella with me.
I had a bowl of cereal and left the apt at 9am with a light
jacket and my large umbrella. I had a 2
minute wait for the metro bus. As soon
as I sat down I got a call from Jose. He
said the weather in Medellin is really bad so he wants to cancel our meeting
for today.
At the Ayura metro station I took a taxi to the mall. I called Teresa and learned that she has to
go to Avenida Oriental in Medellin
I had coffee at Habia
Una Vez for about an hour then I walked back to the apt.
At 11:30 Teresa called me and told me to meet her for lunch
between 12:30 and 12:45 at La Bahia.
Just before noon Teresa called me and informed me that she
was hungry so she’s already having lunch at La
Bahia.
I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show.
Teresa returned just before 1pm.
I went to Jack &
Roll in La Buena Mesa where I had the best burger I’ve had in Medellin
I walked down the hill where I found Jerry McNamara’s (the
guy I met at the Super Bowl party) apartment a block from the small church. It’s a nice building and it appears he’s on
the top floor.
I walked to the mall and upstairs where I had a café con
leche with a slice of carrot cake at Café
Arangos for 10,500 pesos ($3.50).
Back at the apt Teresa told me she waited 3 hours to get her
free medicine saving 200mil ($65). I
understand she will have to do this every month for the next 5 years. The good news is she can catch a bus at
Avenida Las Vegas and the pharmacy is very close to where she gets off the bus.
From my February, 2019 Reader’s Digest: A new study found
that about 70% of women with the most common type of early-stage breast cancer
likely do not need chemotherapy after surgery.
Last night I ordered new gym waterbottles from Amazon for
each of us – glass for Teresa and metal for me.
Even though I chose the free (thus slowest) shipping option, today I
received an email that the order has already shipped.
8,021 steps.
Joke of the day
A lawyer defending a man accused of
burglary tried this creative defense:
"My client merely inserted his
arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not
himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an
offense committed by his limb."
"Well put," the judge
replied. "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's
imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."
The defendant smiled. With his
lawyer's assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and
walked out.
