This is what happens when I can walk

 I went to visit Katherine at the hotel and she and her 2 kids came here so I could pick up my prescriptions from the U.S. and go to the pharmacy to see if they would refill them as I was getting very low. She got a call and had to go back to the hotel so I loaded my red bag and headed out. She said she thought the doctor was bilingual so I figured I could handle it. And, I had my request in my translate program. First stop was Gerardo's store with chocolate for the employees. The pharmacy is only a half block away and I set my bag down and got out my iPad and showed them my translate program. I took out my 3 prescription bottles and the doctor came over. I gave them both chocolate and the doctor does speak excellent English. They had all 3 Meds. The difference here is they only sell a 30 day supply at a time but I was able to get that. The doctor asked if I was here for an extended stay and when I told her I lived in Gerardo's Quinta she said she remembered me coming for help with my leg but she had not spoken to me because his friend handled everything. 

Next to the pharmacy is a bakery and you know how much I like bakeries! The one in the back is chicken (pollo) so that doesn't count. I have been so good and my blood sugar is doing really great - I have even been able to cut back on my insulin - so tonight will be a bakery night for dinner.  I didn't give them any chocolate in the bakery.

Next stop was the super mercado but the cashiers were too busy for treats and there were so many customers that I knew I would run out so I headed for the meat counter. I was greated with a big grin and the man from the back room was there too and a customer. One more stop at the merchandise area for the cashier and a customer and it is out the back door and across the street to home.

I overdid it a bit today so it is going to be a quiet evening.

I didn't make it to the Orchid Nursery but I did find out there is a sign with an orchid on it so I will look again tomorrow, after my massage.

I love being a little more mobile. 

I love what they do with donuts or buns. Both of these are sliced with a filling inside. The sugar donut seems to have a caramel filling. No, I am not going to eat it all tonight. Have I told you I have lost more weight?
