Adventure
Not much to report to you’all or is it all’yall?
Jim had his 4th spinal stem cell treatment this afternoon. He is in his lay flat for 6 hours session. This is the part that is hard for him. He seldom makes it the full 6 hours. Don’t know if he can’t stand the lay flat or if he is starving to death. He can’t eat or drink for 3 hours before and 4 hours after and you know Jim – when it’s dinner time, it’s dinner time.
The doctors are changing his schedule a little. He gets his next treatment IV and the last one spinal. They think that is the most beneficial way. Guess they know best.
Took a little walk across the street (you can’t believe how dangerous that is) to the new market. What a place. It is absolutely huge, and that is just the market. The rest of the stores in the mall are not ready to open yet. I had to take the escalator to the second floor to find groceries. There is no way Jim could contend with that so got him a cup of coffee and left him in the food court. There was a courtesy clerk at the end of every aisle who said “good morning” but that was the extent of the English. One kind girl asked to help me and I asked her for kitchen towels (paper towels) and of course we were both language impaired. No I didn’t find the kitchen towels – we’ll do without. Did find some coffee (instant) – They all drink tea. Fortunately for me there are signs in Chinese and English on the floor that say “Exit” and I was able to follow those and get myself back downstairs. We are still stared at everywhere we go. The children are really curious so we simply say to them “kneehow” which is hello. They love it.
All for today. Thanks again for all of your comments and emails. They sure brighten our day.
