Day 3

November 9th, 2006

Another great day in China. Began the morning with an examination by Dr Zhang. She confirmed that my sphincter muscle is working, what great news. Does that make me a genuine A-hole? This means that I should be able to get my bowl control back, Yahoo. Not sure if this is the kind of news I want to share with the world but what the heck. Morning physio consisted of the same routine as yesterday and repeated it all in the afternoon. Tomorrow I am set to get my first round of stem cells so am pretty excited about that. Although I am not exactly sure what to expect, I have been told by the others that it is nothing to be worried about. I am much more comfortable with the entire proceedure now that I have learned that the first one, at least, will be done by injection. Many others have had it and the word is that as long as you remain still afterwards, there should be little or no pain. I will have to wait until I have an MRI done to learn if I will be having surgery or not.
