Again, please take this stuff elsewhere. This isn't the place for this. I need help, advice and support from fellow Nomads and also to help anyone
else by my experience.

So sorry about that - sometimes my Latina blood just boils with rude people but I will stifle it here. So back to much more important things, please
give us an update as to how your husband is doing today?

Mrs. RTB.....the truck wasn't there this AM when I went by. I know you have a lot on your mind, but if there is anything you need....you
know I'm close. Hope Mr. RTB is starting to feel better & you can get him home fast!

Hi everyone, what a day! We got my husband home from the hospital this afternoon. I have to thank our friends,
-who provided a more comfortable ride than our big diesel truck could provide
-supplied a wheel chair to get him from the ride into the house and through the next few days
-brought over a walker for when he is stronger
-and who gave us a cheque to help out!!
(All Mexicans....and people ask us why we live here!)
Thanks, too, for everyone who visited in the hospital, provided daily phone and email support, helped when we were lost in translation, provided extra
pesos, love and advice, cleaned the house, did the laundry and walked the dogs. We couldn't have done it without you.
My husband spent a couple of hours in the afternoon actually sitting up in his wheelchair looking at the view and listening to his beloved Irish
music...the longest he has been out of bed in 9 days.
We are not out of the woods yet, but I feel he will heal much faster in his own home.
Now for the Baja Nomad information part of this story. In all, Fidepaz was an excellent hospital. The nurses usually came right away when the call
button was pushed, the place was extremely clean and well-maintained, the doctors were professional, personable and knowledgeable. They were also
expensive...the bill on the way out was almost 100,000 pesos. I know that's a spit in the ocean compared to what this would cost in the US, but we
are Canadians, and it's quite a shock. I would still, however, recommend this hospital over the Salvatierra hospital for reasons I stated before.
When the new Salvatierra opens later in the year, it will be interesting to get feedback on its services, especially the emergency department, since
that is what we foreigners should be most concerned about. One can surely find good health care in La Paz if you have time to do some research, but
an emergency is a much different situation. Once we have gone through the Guadalajara experience, I'll post again to let you all know what that was
like.
