FEE: X-Rays and gas

It's amazing, you know? I had a complete panoramic x-ray and multilateral jaw x-rays for a grand total of 500 pesos. For just the panoramic alone in the US, my insurance compensated $125 USD. I also used 300 pesos for gas to make the trip, which is about 50% of the actual fuel cost to get there and back, since I had to go to the US for banking.

TOTAL MONEY USED: 800 pesos = $67USD @ 12:1

X-Rays November 18, 2008

Yesterday I visited Mexicali to have x-rays through Dr. Mora Rubio. He was unavailable (in surgery all morning) and I couldn't hang out to see what he had to say. I will see him when he returns to San Felipe on December 13, unless he needs to schedule me sooner in Mexicali.

A Great Success! V Lounge Fund Raiser

The silent auction and 50/50 raffle were a great success at the V Lounge Friday night. Many people came to support me and make donations, bidding on the items and having a great time. I would like to thank everyone personally, but that would be impossible. So, to all of you who have stepped up to help me when I need you the most...THANK YOU!

The event raised almost $800! I will report the bottom line once I exchange pesos...waiting for the rate to drop again. I will be seeing the surgeon in Mexicali on Tuesday to have the x-rays done, so we are well on the way to making something happen.

Again, thanks to everyone for your support!
