well 1st week gone and everythings going ok so far, i had sat sun and mon off because of holidays here but bk to work yesterday and today, i have a trip 2 the physio every morning at 8.30am till 9.15am, my physio is called jason and he is a we s—, he gets me 2 do things 2 strengthen my arms and legs and while im doing them he stands behind me and makes funny faces at me trying 2 put me off what im doing, but its all good fun.

at 2pm i go for acupuncture and wave theropy every day except for today when i had my IV injection, yesterday i was starting 2 get the acupuncture when barbara ask me could i feel the needles going in, when i said no jason heard me and made sure i felt the next 1 go in lol

, then i was starting 2 get the wave theropy and instead of turning it up slowly he turned it up 2 much, and beleive me when its up 2 much its like getting really hard cramps rite up the bk of ur legs and then he stood and grinned at me lol before turning it down a bit, but he is a good laugh and every 1 really likes him, but he mite have a sore jaw if he keeps this up lol.

then today at about 12 noon the nurse came in and put the needle into a vein in my hand so i could get the iv injection, it wasnt 2 sore untill she wiggled it about 2 c if it was in the vein, about 2 hrs later she came back and took me 2 the we room upstairs for the stemcells which took about an hour, the IV injection is only 2 see if i can take the stemcells without any side effects, and so far so good, i dont feel any different so i guess im ok for the stemcells,im not sure yet when the first spinal injection is but it will probably be mon or tue,

i was really happy on sunday morning when i heard the result of the liverpool match (best team in europe 2 v manky utd 1)lol, so i decided i would go 2 bed about 6pm on tue so i could get up and watch the marseilles match live on the laptop at 3am which i did, liverpool wernt great but a wins a win in the first match of the group, probably do the same tonite and watch the gooners try 2 win there first match, we had a bit of trouble with the toilet as someone blocked it and wont own up 2 it lol, but we give the cleaner a few quid and she unblocked it, we order food in sometimes which is less than half the price at home, i got chicken ( i think) the other nite and it was lovely and the pizzas are nicer than at home, 14″ pizza with 3 toppings, about 20 onion rings, 8 potato cakes and a ltr bottle of coke for 9 quid, rite thats all for now as my eyes are starting 2 go squinty lol.

buy the way the title of this blog is 2 do with the blocked toilet lol
