The first day of 2008, pretty good…
So yesterday we were told that there would be no physio or acupuncture today. But then Jimmy came knocking at the door at 10:00 am wondering where we were! Communication can sometimes be a challenge here, and really, you have to just roll with the punches or ‘got with it’ or whatever you want to call it. So hurriedly, Becky went off to physio with Jimmy. I was hanging in the room reading one of the english books from the patient lounge. We hung out til afternoon physio, which was with Matt, i think, the guy i had my 30 yuan massage with way back when. I was waiting to see how Becky felt, because the original plan been to go out for New Year’s day, but playing it by ear, obv to see how Becky’s head was doing. We had a little chammers and OJ after physio just to celebrate the new year and then Bex gave the go ahead, uh huh, we were heading back to the Sheraton!! We were able to get a cab pretty easy and we were off. We were early, it was just around 5:00 pm. We were told the buffet wouldn’t be open until 5:30, which was fine, Becky and Pat wanted to order off the menu anyway. I checked out the menu, but was drawn back to the buffet by the awesome salad bar, and ummm, the chocolate fountain. Becky had a reuben, Pat had a caesar salad and a filet mignon, while i had mmm, all the salads. For dessert, surprise, i was back at the chocolate fountain and basically had an assortment of all sorts of squares and stuff. I thought Bex and Pat would share but they had ordered cheesecake and chocolate mousse. Somehow i managed to eat almost everything. So now, sated, and sadly, Becky with a headache, we are back at the hospital, well before our 9:00pm curfew. tomorrow afternoon Becky will have stem cells via spinal in the afternoon. Not so looking forward to that, and the mandatory ‘flat on your back’ for 4 to 6 hours afterward, but that’s what we are here for, right? So now, i’m going to rest my full belly, watch some episode of ‘Lost’ and relax.
Hope everyone rang in the new year in the peace and comfort. love love k
and momma, hope you are feeling better this morning. kiss kiss hug hug
