Wednesday, August 22, 2007 – Day of Great Fatigue
August 23rd, 2007
This was the second day after Dave’s spinal injection and it proved to be a day of extreme fatigue for him. He may have also overdone it on the physical therapy as his legs are giving him quite a bit of pain. We have learned that Dave must pay more attention to what his body is telling him and adjust his day accordingly. It is good to push himself, but not to push too hard. Much of today was spent resting in bed (after all of his therapies were done), which was a good thing because the temperature outside was so blazing hot that he wouldn’t have done well out there! I ran to the supermarket for more provisions (I love to shop in the import isle because I can read what I am buying). By the time I got back to the hospital, it looked like I had gone swimming in my clothes.
Today Martin is planning to do ‘cupping’ on Dave to release some toxins and pain from his body. This is such an interesting procedure to watch. Hopefully, I will get some good pictures of it to post tomorrow.
Today’s pictures are of our hospital, the pretty park across the street from us and the view from our window, up on the 20th (top) floor. I think I finally figured out how to post the pictures and keep them there!

I missed you yesterday and was a little worried that something bad happened. But your back today and all the pictures show up. Yeah! You two are in my thoughts often. Get home soon!

Wow the pics are not what I expected. Thought it would be more cramped and less green. Has Dave given any “back alley slum” tours to the arriving patients yet? lol

Mom & Dad,
The views look pretty amazing. I am interested to find out what the “cupping” is all about. I want to say this is what Dad was telling me the other day. Interesting stuff!!
Dad – keep up the good work during therapy. Knowing how much of a hard worker you are back here, I’m sure it is hard to keep you off your feet. You’re doing great, and we’re thinking about you and praying for you both continually!
Talk to you soon!
Love,
Dave & Megs
