survivor china

hello, i have been here a few days now and i’m pretty sure the crew for survivor china got dropped off at the wrong location, cause i’m pretty sure i’m on it. brad and i have formed an alliance and we are voting lorne off tonight. then brad’s going home to watch the baseball playoffs and i will win. but instead of a cash prize i would like some real food.

went to the zoo wed with some of the other patients and there friends and family. they are all very frinendly and the only people that speak engish here. we get around with peices of paper that have chinese writing that say where we want to go. cabs are a dollar to go anywhere. everything is pretty cheap here, i bought a bathing suit at walmart for less than $0.25, which is exactly what it is worth.

brad is going for his second stem cell today, he was supposed to have it at 4 but because of the smog the plane is delayed, it’s always smoggy here so we may be waiting a long time. they fly it in the day of treatment. we bought some tv series for a dollar and are currently hooked on heros.

well hopfully the internet stays up, we’ll be in touch

steph and brad.

Hi from China

Hi Everyone,

I just spoke to Lorne, Brad and Steph at the hospital. Their internet has been down for the past couple of days and won’t be back up until at least Tuesday. Once it is up we will once again hear from Lorne Suchan reporter Extraordinaire!! Everyone is doing good, still not enjoying the food to much. Brad said it is CRAP!! Steph strongly agreed. Brad goes in for his second treatment at 4pm local time Friday. After his treatment he will again have to lay still for six hours, if you move to much you will get terrible headaches. Brad said he goes for accupunture every day and the needle are hooked up to electrodes so it can be painful but he said he is getting used to it now. He also goes for physiotherapy twice a day for 45 minutes. Anyway’s that the news from China and they said to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I’ll be speaking to Steph in the next couple of days so if their internet is down we’ll keep you posted.

Cheers,

Lisa (Brad’s cousin in Calgary)
