Vicki's right knee has been very stiff and painful following a noticeable snap last Thursday, 30 Sep. Today, we visited the SOS International clinic where we were admitted following a phone call. The nurse, Paulo, spoke english pretty well. He took Vicki's blood pressure. When he asked Vicki her weight, she voiced it very clearly. However, he smiled, shook his head and demanded her to step on the scales. Oh my gosh, confrontation, the pressure is on big time, international relations are being put right on the line I thought. However, the scale matched what Vicki had stated. Whew! The doctor spoke less english than the nurse but he convinced us Vicki needed an Xray. We did that. After looking at the X rays, the doctor prescribed some pain pills along with some other pills to hold back the side effects of the pain pills. No problem, I told Vicki as she swallowed the pills whole at supper. Vicki later decided to look up on the internet what kind of pills she had taken. Synthetic opium? Whoa...Vicki is now sitting on the couch with a smile and in NO PAIN! We are going back tomorrow for a followup with a specialist.
