The Farmacia... fortunately or unfortunately depending on your point of view

Miercoles  19 Febrero 2014

We got up at 6 am so we could be to the temple by 7:30 am for the youth baptism group that were going to be there.  Mike called for the taxi at 7:05, waited.  He called again at 7:20 am, waited.  Called again at 7:30 am and she hung up on us.  So we walked to the bus stop.  We thought taking a taxi would be quicker.  Guess not. Bus from now on, unless they go on strike.  We finished with the group around noon, ate lunch and then had some study time.  After our shift, we went over to the Giles’ apartment in the temple complex and she fed us leftovers, which was a marvelous pot roast, carrots, and mashed potatoes.  I worked with Brother Giles on family history.  Mike visited with Bro Giles and Bro Martin while we wives visited with each other.  Nice evening to sit outside.  They have a bit of a green lawn, so it was great! 

Nurse Sis Pugmire told me of some meds we could get at the farmacia (pharmacy) for what we think might be a bladder infection. The unfortunate part of this is that I am sick a bit.  The fortunate part of this is that Uruguay's Pharmacies do not require a prescription. Most stuff is just over the counter so no doctor visit!  So we did that and hopefully I will be all better soon.
