Just in case you were wondering....

This is what it looks like when you're driving down the road to Canilla and all of a sudden, there's a chicken bus broken down in the middle of the road.

You might notice that there is not enough space to get around this bus and there's a rather steep dropoff next to the bus on the side we would have had to try on. So we waited.

After a few minutes, the men standing there brought a jug of water and a hose, did whatever it is that you do with a jug of water, a hose, and a chicken bus, and then they were off.

Also in case you were wondering, this is what a 100 year old woman looks like here. Of course, many of our patients don't really know how old they are, but she was pretty sure she was 100. And I believe it. She's less than 4' tall and is sporting a pretty impressive hernia she says she's had for 50 years.

She wanted a blood test to tell her if she could survive the surgery. We suggested that pain management might be a better course of action. She's never had a pain med (according to her), so she'll probably like the Tylenol we gave her. We wanted to go with Ibuprofen, but she also has gastritis. Not bad for 100 years old!


Also in case you were wondering where Alaska is, here's a picture of about 2/3 of it. Being from Texas, we always hear about how much bigger Alaska is. We're not buying it anymore. Texas is at least twice as big as that.

Anyway, SOMEONE has been bugging us about pictures so here they are. Truth be told, many days we are too busy to even get the camera out. But today we took a few. When that certain someone comes to visit, she can take all the pictures she wants. :)
