Saying Goodbye to My Respiratory Therapist

Ivan has been my respiratory therapist ever since I switched to a Costa Rica CPAP Machine, coming to my house once a month to check my vitals and the CPAP vital statistics, giving new parts, mask, hose, whatever when needed. Another service I never got in the States with the expensive healthcare service there, while it is a standard service for anyone here in the public healthcare system! A country that chooses to not have an army but better healthcare and education for everyone stands out as a real leader in the world!

Interestingly, Ivan chose not one of the few nature photos left on this last day of my sale but an “art photo” print of my photo of the Nashville Farmers’ Market Weather Vane! 🙂 Next month I will get a new Respiratory Therapist because I will be in a different province (San Jose) and Ivan only does Alajuela Province. Like many friends here, Ivan said he would come visit me at Verdeza on one of his days off. It is nice when your servants are also your friends! 🙂

¡Pura Vida!
