It’s a beautiful, sunny sunday so eight of us (3 patients, 3 caregivers, and two aides rented a van for the day. The driver took us along the beautiful shoreline. We had lunch(really dinner) at Pasta Fresca da Salvatore. The chef is right from Italy but spoke english and cooked for us to order along with his wonderful tales of being a Doctor and soccer player. He met a chinese woman and that is how he ended up here. He was delightful. Then we drove to the site where the sailing olympics took place. Took lots of pictures. It was so good to get away from the hospital for all of us. Tomorrow starts an intense schedule of acupuncture, electrowave therapy, pt and an IV treatment which shows if Al is allergic to the stemcells. If not, his first spinal treatment is on friday. We can’t wait. If we thought we would be on our own here, we were so mistaken. We are a close, supportive family taking care of each other. More tomorrow.
