Thanks for the update! Val

I went for a single stem cell injection in my left hip as my cartilage is almost gone after 51 years of dancing on it. I forget the man's name, but he also comes from GDL and provides this service in Dra. Justina's Clinic. I had an x-ray before the procedure to confirm my suspicions of diminishing cartilage. He told me to wait about 5-6 months and get another x-ray. I did and my cartilage is growing. I can only speak for my experience but I'm grateful I caught it in time while I still had cartilage for the stem cells to initiate re-growth. I did research before choosing this procedure and these practitioners. As always, do your own research and determine what you feel is safe and in your best interest. Stay safe out there! Val Jones

Great, thanks! I have an elderly friend who lives in Roca Azul who was quite certain that there weren't any cases in Joco. I told her that there were but wanted the statistics to back up my claim. I appreciate the details and your daily report. Stay safe and healthy, Val

How do I get information regarding cases in Jocotepec? Thanks, Val

Sounds FANTASTIC! Can't wait to give them a try. Val

Thanks MtnMama. I'm eager to get my GA ballot and have it ready to return via "snail mail." Any information regarding people driving NOB or flying NOB and willing to transport ballots would be appreciated as well. Also, good to know if we can rely on the Diplomatic Pouch for this election. Too much is at stake to miss a single cast ballot. Everyone should exercise their right to VOTE! Val

ABSOLUTELY!!! Thanks for this comprehensive update. Val

Thanks, I'll tell John. Tried to do it via ZOOM but just didn't quite work. Stay safe and healthy! Val

Can't reach a friend in lower Riberas near the 7-11 and trying to report the phone outage to TelMex but can't get through to them. Is anyone else in lower Riberas having telephone problems this afternoon? Thanks, Val

This is terrible! I did not hear about this on the news. How very difficult it must be for the residents and businesses. I do hope they get some help from state and federal authorities. Val

Have had several over the past 3-5 years. As a dancer, it's extremely important to prevent injuries and then treat those ASAP. I've had the pleasure of meeting several wonderful local PT's. Jorge Ulloa is my first choice. His office is across from Mom's Deli in Riberas. VERY professional and after my hip replacement at the age of 55 (51 years of dancing on it), he and Angel came each day Monday-Friday and did intensive PT with me for an hour to an hour and 1/2. After 2 weeks, they had Christmas holiday and I continued my exercises while they were away for 2 weeks. Once they returned, my 30 days of "no driving" had expired so I drove to their office and after one visit, they sent me home. I was scuba diving in Nicaragua a few weeks later. Can't recommend them strongly enough. Also, Caesar at URDI in the Plaza on the Libramiento near Lake Tako and the car wash is also excellent. I did about 9 months of intensive PT at his place to try and avoid the eventual hip replacement. He also does home visits. Fortunately, we have wonderful P.T.'s locally who actually care about you and your condition and will visit you in your home. Wishing you great luck and success with your recovery! Val Jones

Thanks for sharing the information about this wonderful and professional driver. Great to know! Salud, Val

I've read 2 articles from different sources suggesting we delay our flu shots until late September or early October to help carry us through what is imagined to be a "longer than usual" flu season. Just something to consider. I encourage everyone to get a flu shot, this year, more than ever. Might add that if your pneumonia vaccination isn't up to date, you may consider having that as well. Please stay safe and healthy. Salud, Val

Can't wait to give this place a try. Many thanks for the wonderful photo and information. Salud! Val

GREAT news! So happy to hear Jose is well and Isabel is on the mend. Many thanks for the update! Cyber hugs, Val

Kyle, that sounds wonderful. Do you recall the price/kilo for the imported and local options? Thanks, Val

Ours went out yesterday, August 24th, about 11 am. After multiple (answered) calls up until 9 pm, we were assured it would be back up and running soon. Stopped by Ajijic Office today (August 25th) about 10:30 am and the kind lady at reception told us there was a lakeside outage and some got service last night and we should have service in a few hours. We returned home in upper Ajijic to see 3 large CFE trucks beginning the process to replace a large cement pole. We were told our power would be out about 4 hours. Our electricity returned about 2 pm as well as internet. We were so pleased until the internet quit AGAIN about 5:30 pm. Called ALL possible numbers listed for ILox without any success. ARGH!!! Seems we aren’t alone in this frustration. Drove by Ajijic TelMex Office to see what fiber optic packages they have but they are still closed. VERY frustrated ILox customers right now. Does anyone have a way to reach ILox this evening? Val 😡

Saw post by NEWBIE from early July re: Walmart. If someone knows this person or is this person, please contact me. I have information that may help not only you but others who have experienced similar situation this past month. Val Jones

Very encouraging news! Salud, Val

Santiago Paz, great, professional and courteous driver. 331-302-3227 or 331-739-7613. Salud! Val
