Just a quick word on FB and Rocky. For years Rocky has said I do not have time to have a Facebook account but he would visit mine sometimes. Then he all of a sudden decided to get his own and he is always checking on what is going on now with his friends. Now he uplaods photos and hides post and reports spam. Rocky is pretty Facebook savvy now.
Pedro and Dentist
Rocky and I arrived home from Qualaquiza on Saturday after lunch and shortly after Pedro was knocking on our gate. He said that he had a headache and needed to go to the hospital. We told him that they were not open till Monday today. But he really wanted to see the dentist about getting false teeth. But the dentist that pulled his teeth told us that they did not do that and that he would have to go to a private dentist. Our neighbors mom works at the hospital and had told us to take him to Gualalupe medical clinic in another community and that they would make them. So we went to there this morning and since he had no teeth left they would not make false teeth, but gave us the name of a man in that community that made plates. he used to work in Loja in an office. so we got his info and went to his place of business:(::::::(;;;;
reception area, consultation area, examination area, fitting area!
Patient Pedro, sitting in dental chair, me on the encourager bench,
The man kept going from the room we were in through the door in top photo and he came out with this plastic thing like maybe a guard for sports or? He walked up to Pedro pulled his bottom lip out and stuck it in and looked all around and took off through the door to the back. When he came back he had a bunch of stuff like clay that he has just mixed up and was wiping his grimy hands on his pants leg. Walked up to Pedro and pulled out that bottom lip again crammed all of the stuff in his mouth and got around behind Pedro and got him in a head lock and was about lifting Pedro off the chair as he was making an impression. I do not think Pedro knew what was happening from the frightful look in his eyes. And so it went with the uppers! Praying that his teeth fit well and he is able to wear them. Pedro will returning to our house next Monday and we will go and get his teeth on Tuesday.
This was quite the experience. The mans fingernails were so nasty!!! I told Rocky all that was missing was for a chicken to walk through the room.
