Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once at 3:30am, Teresa was breathing noisily so I moved to the guest bedroom, finally waking/getting up at 7:15.

I have an abrasion on my leg that Teresa is concerned about. Glenn gave me the contact information for his dermatologist:

Dr. Milton Mejia Montoya

Salud y Servicios Ciudad del Rio

Calle 19A #44-25

Consultario 2107

(300) 270-0239

Teresa called and got me an appointment for 3:30 today.

I left the apt at 9am and walked to Mundo Huevo (Egg World) looking for a large jar of strawberry preserves. No luck. I stopped in Parva and had a café con leche for a couple hours.

Teresa texted me and asked me to pick up broccoli in Ara on my way back to the apt. I stopped in Eduardo Madrid and bought 3 sesame seed bagels for 8,400 pesos ($1.80). I stopped in Ara and had a worker go through a number of recently arrived containers but no broccoli.

I see the Chicago Bears open their season on September 10^th at home against the Green Bay Packers. Perfect, but I should be on the Mediterranean Sea that day. The rest of the NFL schedule will be released tonight.

Opening today in Cine Colombia, Viva Envigado:

·     Cuando Ellas Quieren Mas aka Book Club: The Next Chapter (6.0).

·     No Descansarás aka Bed Rest aka You will not rest (5.1).

·     La Conspiracion del Diablo aka The Devil’s Conspiracy (4.4).

·     Maremoto aka Seaquake or The Burning Sea - in Norwegian.

·     Bailando en Silencio aka Dancing in Silence in Spanish.

·     Empieza el Baile aka The Dance Begins in Spanish.

·     Los Tres Mosqueteros: D’Artagnan in French.

Doesn’t look like anything worth seeing.

I left the apt about 2pm and arrived at Dr. Milton Mejia Montoya’s office an hour early. A lady was ahead of me and I believe I was taken into his office on time. He spoke very good English with no accent. He mentioned one time he had difficulties being understood when he was in New Orleans. 😊 He had me remove all my clothes except my underwear and examined my whole body with a magnifying glass. The only concerning area was the spot I came in for that concerned Teresa. He took a biopsy of it and said the results would be ready in about a week. He gave me a prescription for some cream to put on my wound twice a day. I paid 490 mil for the biopsy and test results. I didn’t have enough cash with me to pay for the doctor’s visit so next time. My next appointment is May 25^th at 1:30.

Downstairs I bought the cream for 50mil at a next-door Pasteur pharmacy. I quickly caught a taxi back to the apt in heavy traffic. At Teresa’s request I stopped in Ara and bought a container of dishwashing soap before returning to the apt.

I understood Teresa had an afternoon massage.

The Chicago Bears schedule has been released.
