As promised. Pictures of Mandy's leg from last night and this morning.

Last night's wrap.


It's amazing how much it's still draining.


The cut itself. Filling in.



The leg is pretty ugly though. She seems to be using it well. I currently have her on 2400 mg Devil's Claw 2 x/day as I am unable to get Bute that isn't IM.



From Bandage changes this morning.



It IS shrinking.


So... it looks better no?

and just for shits and giggles. A few pics I took while  Mandy was resting yesterday.

Oh HAI!






and a video showing Just how lazy she was feeling.


and to end the post...he's a little look at just what Bree thinks about Mandy getting all the attention.

She's... a very effective communicator.

I KNOW I haven't been posting! I have excuses! Part One

I have been so busy with Mandy's leg and also with a guest! Yes, I had a visitor. She's also an Arabian lover and has kept horses for years so it was really wonderful to have her to help and give opinions on Mandy's leg.

I tried to show her all of Belize, but we ran out of time! Here is some of what we saw...

We went to Caracol on the first day.

On the way there:


The Rio On





The toilets at Rio On (At least you have a view?)




Guacamallo Bridge


Juan had to see if the water was cold.




A Strangler fig trunk at Caracol.


We climbed Caana

Poor Nancy's knees.

It feels like you can see forever from the top.


All the dry season trees are in bloom.

Looking down from the very top.


Metates and a grinding stone.


Me and Nancy waiting for Juan down below.



I'm a coward. I come down on my bum.


till I'm far enough down that I don't think I'll die if I fall...


Those ruins are so big they make you feel tiny.



An Oropendola Colony. (We saw THREE Toucans too!)


Walking through the understory.

A whole field of Impatiens.


So pretty.


The road back


It was a wonderful day. :-)

There will be more.
