Just 3 sleeps to going home. The third day after stem injection and feeling better. The first 2 days after, I am always not good. Got good personal attention at PT today and was feeling well enough to do the exercises. The good news is that my bone marrow stem cell cultivation has gone OK and that the LP is happening tomorrow am rather than the day before we return

Richard bought a phone card today at 100 yuan(7GBP). He made the nurses laugh by telling them what good business people they were as a 100 Yuan card in Hangzhou only cost us 40 Yuan, and they were making a real good profit.

We get our food at the little restaurant attached to the hospital and chicken as we know it is out, and the meat bits in the dishes are bones and gristle. Thus just eating various vegetables with rice. All tastes good. Richard got confused with his change as the yuan(7 UK pence) has lesser amounts in notes as well as coins. Thus he got confused and thought that a 5 note was 5 yuan rather than a half yuan. Believing in his mathematical capabilities, he ended up losing 3.5 yuan in his change. He was thinking of sorting out the young lad who he dealt with at this evenings meal selection, but after ordering 2 fried eggs, rice and 4 vegetable portions, the charge was only 7 yuan, he let it pass. Thus 10 chinese meals for the 2 of use can be bought for one 15 minute international phone card. The restaurant is in the wrong business.
