South American internet blessings & greetings to all! Muchos gracias! You all are so SPECIAL! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for ALL of your emails. I am savoring each one. Believe me, without LCT, this would be a lot harder! I told Don that renting this laptop (though S.A. has its internet hiccups) was the best cure next to the Doctoro Eye Can-dy!

Speaking of Dr. E.C., we fumbled our way back to "Doctoro Herracio's" office at the German Hospital....(why is there a German theme on this "poop" trip??!). However, Dro. Herrrrrrracio is soooooo latin..... He put his hand to his chin, tilted his head & with a sexy smile said, "Senora, of course you may have a glass of vino!!!!" Poor Don had to pick me up off of the floor & stuff me back into the chair after that episode....deep breath...

Don had the camera & managed to "forget" to take a photo since it was, ahem, rather awkward....(give me the bloomin' camera, **** it!) Poof, he was gone; but, alas, I can return to HIM whenever I want. Ladies, we will just have to settle for the photos of Juan Pablo, the butler, and schedule our appointments for Doctoro Horrrrrracio...... Mercy....and another $53 pesos for the thrill!

Bottom line: we are flying home tomorrow night, late. Should arrive Miami in the a.m. Friday then on to LA by Friday night if swelling doesn't start up again. Don surprised me today with a necklace, ring, and earrings from a designer who we had discovered prior to my infirmary. Gorgeous pieces of copper, silver, and alpaca & bronz. So unusual!!!(I will set off every metal detector between here and LAX if I wear them!!) I was so shocked that he bought them for me as this trip (more accurately, the fear of many insurance battles)has him off his game. I am one lucky girl & shall never forget the better moments of this experience.

Aren't those posts from the Poopers the funniest?? Bueno bueno for them!!

'till we meet again, I shall remain,
