SATURDAY, 4/4/15
As we woke up this morning, Judy’s cough is becoming more problematic. She didn’t sleep well. She’s had it since we returned from Vietnam, and it has gradually worsened. Thankfully, she agrees to go see a doctor (sometimes she refuses until the cough is out of control). She calls and gets an appointment that starts in half an hour. We scurry around and head out, jumping in a taxi. We walk into the doctor’s office about 4 minutes late.
Similar to past experiences, she gets in quickly to see the doctor. They ask a few questions and take her for some blood work. When they return 10-15 minutes later, they have diagnosed a bacterial issue, and have some prescriptions ready to go. We walk out the door 30 minutes after we arrive, with medicine in hand.
On the way home, Judy wants to visit the Sanyuanli Market for fruits, vegetables, and nuts. It’s a really big market with lots of choices, including meats and seafood. We make a walk down thru the market checking things off our list, and adding a few things that look especially good. That’s one of the problems with shopping when you’re hungry. Lots of things look good. There are numerous exotic looking fruits (exotic to Tex/NMex like us). We finish and load up, heading back to the apartment to unpack our groceries. The rest of the afternoon is spent relaxing and letting Judy make up some of the sleep she lost last night due to the cough.

This little girl was teaching her brother words on the sign in the window. Judy thought it was cute and took a video, but the girl saw Judy before she got very far into the lesson. Check out the short video.
This is one of the crazy looking fruits the several of the vendors were slicing and offering samples.
SUNDAY, 4/5/15
Judy still had a rough night with the cough. The medicine hasn’t been in her system long enough to solve the problem. We end up spending most of the day reading and planning for the week ahead. I borrowed a copy of “Selma”, and “The Judge”, from one of the teachers at my school, and that entertains us for some of the day.
When her cough gets wound up, it’s hard to listen to. The more settled she is, the better. She has a full week ahead and will need every bit of strength to get through it.
