Day 2
Today has been non stop, doctor after doctor, nurse after nurse. They all wear traditional uniforms, white robes, masks and all. Started with Blaz having a blood test at 6am, I wasn’t happy. Acupuncturist came around and physios as well.
Blaz is getting Acupuncture once a day for half an hour and physio twice daily, one hour sessions.
We planned on exploring the hospital and its surroundings today but all the test and visits from masked clad nurses meant Adrian has been in bed all day. We’re slowly picking up the common Chinese words but we have far to go.
Mum and I re-arranged the furniture in the room so we could actually fit, like i mean this is small, but its cool we are all close together.
Mum went off to the shops to get some essentials, things are pretty cheap around here. She came back with bags and bags and said the place was like a 4 storey Woolworths with everything you need.
I managed to find 15 min to wonder out the back gate of the hospital. We’re literally in the slums of town, it’s an eye opener though. Old roads, people everywhere, some trying to sell things, others just going about their way. I bought a pack of durries for roughly $2.00, here’s to quiting. I continued my wonder across the main road and sat by a frozen river.
The people seem to be pretty friendly around here. Got the internet hooked up today as well, everyone is very helpful.
