This gives me hope. Lol
The wife’s stress makes mine pale in comparison, and a lot of it comes from working in medicine in a small town. You frequently see on TV where they have someone “crash”, you know, the whole deal with people doing CPR, nurses and doctors scrambling, shocking the heart etc. They generally spend about two hours of extreme effort trying to save someone. Failure is hard. Wife works like this pretty much every day, and they save lots. Right around Christmas they lost six, including one close personal friend. She hasn’t seemed to picked herself up from that. The feeling that they failed. That’s the danger of that line of work. She’s been in it, in this town, for thirty five years. Some of these people she was in on their birth, taught them Sunday school, then has to be there when they die. Friends die of cancer after you work on them for months. She had stage three cancer and faces survivor guilt.
You got pictures??
I was going to mention Jean, I know people that have had the symptoms and it was only temporary. Wish you the best.
Have you ever been to Melaqe? Made 5 trips there. Really laid back. Not suggesting you go there though, you already have your place.
I hadn’t heard of it, so I Googled it. Seems like a nice place, also. It is such an amazing country. It is not perfect, by any stretch, but that is not the fault of the people. I don’t know how to fix their government, and it’s not my place to interfere anyway.
Yes Leon is talking about Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo. Stayed there a few times. Took the bus to Ixtapa one day. Walked the tourist beach, couldn’t get off the beach fast enough. Too many tourists making idiots out of themselves. Could stay at Leon’s, seems the property is still kind of like a compound with condo’s. Mazatlan, we stayed away from the luxurious hotels, further down the beach, walked all over. Took cabs had a wonderful time. That was in the early 90’s. Bucket list still has Zihua on it, depending on mobility.
This and possibly the Bells may be along the line of what I had neurosurgery for two years ago. Over a period of 8 or so years, I had a facial spasm that started around the left eye[ faint at first then more pronounced over time] that would even pull my upper lip towards the eye. Sometimes faint and other times it would close my eyelid which made it fun driving, welding etc when you need that depth perception. Of course it would really take off when I was talking to people which would make them look at me funny like I was lying causing the ticks. Got diagnosed with USC and they found that the Vertebral Artery by the brain stem was enlarged, not common but not unknown, which applied pressure to the Trigeminal Nerve and was the cause of the issue. This same problem can also manifest itself into pain, like an electrical shock or burning sensation, on the face. The procedure is called "Trigeminal Nerve Decompression". July of 22 I went down there for the deed. They cut a hole in the skull, left side just behind the ear, went in and put a Teflon sponge between the artery[ after moving it some without cutting] and the nerve. The artery or vessel applies pressure against the nerve causing the problem and can even put a dent on it. It took several months for the problem to pretty much go away. There is no 100% guarantee of it stopping but it's usually in the 80/90% range. As long as it was less than what I had I figured its fine. For me there was no pain issue with the spasm, it was just annoying. On the plus side, I'm now a metal head. Have a Titanium plate where the cut the hole for rock removal.
Our place is out in Cerritos. Right at the end of the road. Wife and I aren’t touristy or party people so we avoid the Golden Zone as much as possible. Cerritos has a nacionales beach which is super cool. Mexicans know how to enjoy a day at the beach without being obnoxious so we hang out there.
