So much to say…

September 30th, 2007

Let’s see where to begin. For starters I’m in a much better mood. We took a trip to the traditional market in the handicapped van. It was nice to have power to move as I pleased. Now of course I couldn’t get into any of the shops, but if I saw something I liked my sister would show it me. Plus there are also cart type kiosks throughout the middle of the street that had a lot of unique items. All in all I give the outing a nine, I could have stayed longer, but that’s just me. I still have my fingers crossed for the trip to the West Lake!

October 1st is China Day. A lot of the staff have taken small 4 day vacations, and a lot of patients are leaving or have left. There are a lot of empty rooms. Fortunately we have made friend with some people a few doors down. It’s a brother sister combo, the brother is the patient from Pennsylvania, and his older sister who lives in Colorado. Our friends from Minnesota have gone home:( I definitely recommend making new friends with the other patients! I personally enjoy meeting strangers and learning new things from them.

I have my last two treatments this week. IV on Monday and spinal injection on Friday, then we leave the 10th. My sense of time and dates are all backwards, all I know is I can’t believe it’s almost over. I think coming to China was the easiest part, the hard parts going to be being patient to see what these stem cells of mine are going to do. I hate being patient!
