I have not posted for a few days. Cindy and I have been sick so we weren't out and about and I had little to desxribe. Cindy had the flu. I had a skin rash that I have had several times in Kauai. The heat and humidity make the rash irritated and seem to make it spread. I finally went to Urgent Care and now have some medications that should help. The rash is evidently a relative of diaper rash as one of the salves can be used to treat either. I just made that up.
I have seen docs at small clinics when this has happened before, but when I tried one of these clinics I was told they were not seeing new patients. I am actually an old patient, but that probably isn't that funny. I did learn something that amazed Cindy. I really didn't understand that urgent care and emergency rooms are for different things. Urgent care is for those who can't get in to see docs because of issues and situations like mine. You probably understood this, but I have lived a sheltered life and some things just were not obvious to me. This is one of the reasons everyone should travel if possible because you learn new things. Medical situations are not the intended experiences, but things happen.
Anyway, we had to make a trip to the drug store and decided to have Pho because we were in the right place and had not visited our "where the locals eat" place this trip. Pho is a noodle soup and quite filling for the price. Last visit I tried what turned out a homemade vinegar and peppers concoction that I was curious about and found I really liked. Very local. The side dish is chicken.
