Day 15 in the hospital-moon cakes

September 10th, 2008

Two people left today, Charles from Québec and Jarrack from Belfast. There was an air transport problem today with the stem cells arrival–the people scheduled to receive injections today will be rescheduled for Friday. Pansy said she could feel her calf muscle for the first time in years. The doctors are very pleased with her success. In fact they are saying that she has had made more improvement quicker than the other ataxia patients. She says that is due to her positive attitude.
Sunday ( 9-14 ) is special day in China–it’s the mid-autumn festival. It is a full moon. The people share moon cakes with family and friends. There is an ancient fairy tale: a beautiful lady, named chang’er, lives in the palace on the moon only with a white rabbit. She is lonely and unhappy because she deserted her husband on the earth, so she can fly to the heaven. But the so-called dreaming life is not that enjoyable at expense of abandoning her lover.
