Damn Doctors

We can’t seem to shake them. Sherrell returned from Guadalajara after a good scare. The doctor thought her soreness and swelling was a really bad sign, so they did some samples and found no cancer. Then before they cut her open for more tissue, she remembered falling very hard about 2 months ago. They took a closer look and thought maybe the problem was a hematoma. So they numbed her and took about 100cc’s of trapped blood, to everyone’s relief it was just a hematoma. But now she’s sore and we have to go back again in 10 days for another exam.

Also they took another look at Sherrell’s gall stone which shows up in the liver ultrasound and recommended getting it treated before it gets inflamed. So, it’s hard to tell what might go down in the next few weeks ahead. Hopefully we’ll get it all straightened out and Sherrell can stop seeing these characters.

We did get some work down on the boat. I scrubbed out our fuel tank and the bilge. Installed a new fuel hose. Cleaned the boat, again and again. It’s getting hotter and more humid.

Mexico’s already had the first stupid storm of the hurricane season but that’s yet another set of problems I don’t want to think about.

So we are going to try some surfing in a new spot with our friends before they head back to the US for a few weeks. There’s supposed to be a really nice summer wave at this place, Selistinos. We’re going to have a good time there!
