I got a cryptic text message from mexicowander at 4:17 AM.

Awoke at 0400 Pulse 29 apparently I have bradychardia due to 3rd bundle branch (total heart) failure.

His health is not good, possibly failing, 3rd bundle branch (total heart failure)... probability of venticular fibrillation (infarction) very high ie, heart attack. Answer is to get north for pacemaker. Not possible until May 3rd, So it's maybe adios amigo.


If any of his posts have helped you, say a prayer on his behalf.

Good to hear you back on track again Mex. Like has been mentioned, if there is anything this community can do to help, just yell.

Ya, well warm up the Borg and stay away from the Senoras until you get a look over by the Dr.

Hoping your trip up North goes well.

" Dude's a chick magnet. Chicks dig smart guys"

Since this thread is unintentional and 360 degrees of any topic, allow me to finish it with a smile...

The family and I visited Barra de Navidad, 240 miles north of Las Peรฑas. We were walking down the malecon (waterfront) when a Canadian Blue-Hair spotted me, and rushed over...

"Oh, I am sooo glad to see you! You just have to sample the lobster/coconut cakes I told you about last time!" She yanks me into the restaurant/hotel lobby.

I come out 20-minites later
"Where's Brenda?"

(Pilar) "Mommy started laughing so hard..." (Pilar starts cracking up) she kept saying Oooooo abrazitos, Oooooo besitos...

And then she wet her pants"

Huggzies, Kissies, indeed!

Bus is no longer cheap. Crossing the border standing hours in line, then n the other side, 2-1/2 hour three transfer bus ride or pay taxi another $20.00 Then I have to go many miles to pick up medicines. If Dr. refers me to a specialist or lab I'm screwed. $60/night cheapest hotel.

Bus fare $200 round trip to border.

And I need to buy clothes. No 1X or 2X down here. None.

Ooooooooo thanks to SCVJeff I have dozens of hours of music to listen to. No more local radio narco ballads that remind me of a coyote ------- on an electric fence.

Oy, Mex, is there an alternative to you driving? It doesn't sound like the safest* thing in the world. Maybe there's an RV.netter or couple who could convoy with you?

(*This whole incident reminds me of the cartalk episode where the caller describes how his Yugoslavian neighbor said, 'We don't need no stinkin jumper cables,' popped out the good battery, flipped it over, and touched its terminals to the dead one.

Caller asked, 'Is this safe? And, if so, why do I have jumper cables?'

Tom or Ray said -- this was just after the war -- 'Well, compared to living in Yugoslavia it's safe.'

I get it that going is safer than not going. But still, perhaps some improvement could be made in the plan? I would totally donate to the defibrillator fund, or the plane ticket one... )

Great to see MEX back to his normal self! :B

How does that UPS in Chula get stuff to MEX?
mex makes the trek to ups store.


Just got a load of stuff. Celso got the red light at Customs. I am now the proud owner of a Customs Declarations and Payment Official Receipt. Boy are they going to be in for a surprise when I finally head south. They are going to wag their finger at the roof rack and get a document stuffed up their nose.

Will get more stuff on the 4th.

Going 4 May. Dr. Appt.

They are assembling their saws and pliers as I write.

Last night I was waiting for the other-shoe to drop. I awoke early took a BP reading and 2 Tylenol and went back to sleep. I don't like medical problems I have to "Best Guess" and I do NOT like doing best guessing. I dislike writing adios notes even less. Criminy! Leave me alone! I'm having fun!

How far away is Mex from medical services? Is there no one close enough to help him get some medical attention? NinerBikes or Mex, if you know anything we can do to help please post it. Maybe as a group we can come up with something.
