Home at Last!

Nov 16, 2009

I got home from Monterrey, Mex. last last nite.  It seemed very long and very short at the same time.

I arrived starving, hot, tired and w/a migraine...left hungry (nothing but gummy lifesavers and water on the trip), cold, and looking forward to my own bed.

Dr. Zapata was great, I felt very comfortable with him and his team.  I met with Alma, his patient coordinator only once, but she was always available by phone, the drivers were great.  I thank God for my friend Dawn who accompanied me, she was the real Life Saver on this trip!  I don't think it would have gone nearly as smooth if she hadn't been along to help.  I will forever be in her debt!

Hospital was nice, only downfall was the language barrier with some of the staff, but a doctor or ocassional nurse could usually speak English and get things right.  The room (suite) was lovely, but they do need to invest in new 'futons' for your companion, it was shot and uncomfortable.  The hotel was nice, staff was great.

Would I do it again?  at this moment I'm not sure, ask me again in about a month...
