Haven't eaten a 馃崙 since I moved to Costa Rica. Imported fruit is outrageously expensive. Bananas, Papaya & Mangos are cheap. Bananas go for about 10 cents per banana.

Papayas are extremely good for platelets. Even better is papaya leaf tea. I buy organic from India. There is only one drug called promacta that cannot be used outside chemotherapy. Everything we need for sustenance, healing comes from our natural world. Sad we don't respect it.

I love mangoes papayas and bananas. I guess I should start thinking about heading south. It's been on my mind and there comes a point where sticking around for medical care is of itself a trauma.

National health care requires a cedulla, identity card. It can take several years of dealing with immigration to even get a permanent residence card. Private health care is not cheap, and geared towards the medical tourist.

Well Costa Rica appeals to me but I have numerous friends in Mexico. I think that would be the country I'd end up in by choice. I hear Costa Rica is beautiful but rather unto itself it seems.
