Happy 25th Anniversary Fern and Eileen.
I got no sleep at all for the 4th day in a row and experienced chills during the night.  I did not take the dogs for a walk as I was way too shaky.
At 9am the mechanic Mauricio was here to install the new ignition switch for Chappy.  There are only 2 keys so I put the main one on a lanyard for Cristina to wear around her neck when she is out at the Animal Park or elsewhere because she is terrible for misplacing keys.
The door repairs are coming along, I assume Carlos will come and do more smoothing and painting.
The day for me went from bad to worse.  Cristina forced too much water down my throat and I began to vomit and had a quick bout of diarrhea.  Then I was getting hot and my mind was wandering and slow to do even normal repetitive tasks, I was not in good shape.  I drank some of my coconut lemonade and immediately felt better!  That had me wondering if maybe I was having a diabetic attack...  I have never been a diabetic and do maintain a pretty good diet.
Christian's old girlfriend, Jessica, rode her motorbike here from Cali to visit.
Jessica and Cristina could sense my distress so they called Miguel to come and take me to a hospital.  They wanted to take me to Tulua but I reminded tham that my insurance says I am to go to the Hospital in BugaLaGrande, and that was a good decision.  I got attended to quite quickly, professionally and courteously by some very pretty Doctoras.  I was on an IV drip for over an hour and we were there for over 2 hours.  I again got very hot with fever there and they claimed I was dehydrated.
We had been invited again late to go to Aram and Liliana's for Hannukah for 7pm and I really felt bad to have to cancel.  I couldn't walk that far safely and I sure couldn't eat anything.
At 9pm I went to the bedroom and closed the door, no dogs tonight.  I may have managed an hour or two of sleep.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

Saturday morning the mechanic from La Union came, his name is Mauricio.  We moved Chappy outside and he got to work.  The motor and carburetor were dismantled and cleaned.  When he got it cleaned and the chain tightened. he took Chappy for a ride with no problems, and so did I.  He looked at the spark plug and the fuel system.  He explained to us which settings to use, etc.  It is very odd that thay want the bike in gear to start it.
He had tried to find the ignition switch without success or finding the adaptor for the right hand mirror.  So we went into Tulua to find these items.  There was one place where the lady made at least 20 phone calls from memory.  Then she finally came up with it, Thank God.  We will have to do with one mirror for now.
 I had had such a bad sleep and gound that my arms were tingling as though they were on the TENS machine.  I did not feel well at all on this mini jaunt.  I even broke down and took a Gabapentin.
We stopped at the Tulua Animal Shelter, Zoonosis to pick up a small puppy for adoption here.
By the time I got home I felt awful and hit the sack alone.  At some point Cristina allowed sone dogs to join me.  
When I got up I was so dizzy that I toppled 3 times on the bed.  Very carefully I got some juice and set up this Blog.  Honestly, I feel as though someone else is in control, not me...  I am scared to get up again without a good hold on some furniture.
We even had got some really good cinnamon rolls after lunch of empanadas.  Cristina warmed it up after my nap and it was awesome.  Carloscame by to work on the new bedroom door but I am not getting up just to take a photo.  This could be an interesting afternoon.  I am so darn woozy......
I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
