Day 26 – The hard days are here!
December 4th, 2007
Being on bed for 24 hours and unable to move or turn reminded me a lot of how it was immediately after my accident and I couldn’t move. Time is going slowly and I am trying to sleep most of the time. Thank God I don’t have feelings because I know this would be extremely painful. My back however is hurting a lot from lying down and the nurses told us to massage it every hour so I don’t get pressure soars. Nothing much happened today except Donna bringing me a beautiful bouquet of flowers. All our friends also dropped by my room and visited me, even my therapist. I am posting some pictures today from my acupuncture and therapy sessions I had.

Dear Diana,
Today marks my first visit to the blogs you’ve been posting and I have read them with great, and sustained interest.
Marvellous that you are having both the bone marrow transplant and the hip surgery. Let us thank God all is working in your favour!
My feelings around the airline ticket is that it is preparation for even more blessings for you. It would be useful to focus on it from that perspective and thus open the way for more wonders to unfold. Observe the unfolding with interest and with as much good cheer you can muster.
Remember the body is 75% water and water is what holds the energy we send out through our thoughts, emotions and words. Keep sending love, joy and gratitude to your body! Later on you will tell us the results of this effort.
With much love and admiration, Helene

Dear Diana,
Just went through the site once more and realised that I had sent in a comment very early in the game, so this is actually my third entry.
At the moment, I’m in Long Island where I hope to be for at least another 5 – 6 weeks. It is cold and we’ve already begun to experience the snowfalls and as luck would have it, I had purchased a pair of boots only the eve of the first one!
Be of good cheer, and remember to keep blessing your body with love, joy and gratitude.
My warm regards to your family.
With love and encouragement, Helene

Hey you
,
Looking at these pictures makes me really miss Shenyang…I feel like I was there only yesterday. Charlie and the therapists look exactly the same haha. I remember when I was confined to the bed for 10 days I thought I would go crazy too, but it was all worth it. We’re all so glad you got the tickets worked out, and can look forward to being home with your whole family soon. No matter what happens always remember to smile and laugh…with a good sense of humor nothing can hurt you…
We look forward to your updates, hang in there!
Ben
