Stem Cells China Day 9 06.03.07
By 7am I was right as ninepence, and felt raring to go. Got up showered had breakfast as I’d been told off the day before for missing the first meal of the day! As soon as I showered my head started to thump again! There was no way I was having any more Chinese medicine anyway it was too early for sweet & sour!! So I took one of my own pills and off I went.
The morning went relatively quickly and seemed to have achieved more than the previous day because quite frankly if Virgin airlines had turned up outside the hospital yesterday I’d of quite easily got on board!! I new I was doing much better as my sense of humour had returned and soon had the OT dept and Rehabilitation dept laughing despite the language barrier. Richard went shopping with Lynn from Australia to Walmart which was a bit more reputable than our previous expeditions and came back laden with all sorts and about ten ton of fruit to help me with you now what! Lyn and Rich later went off to cook our tea and it seems as though all the other patients are coming as well, It’d better be good as it’s my second dose of Stem Cells tomorrow!

Stem Cells China Day 8 05.03.07
Up early as usual ready for the days events but just after showering had a repeat of yesterdays migrane and not wishing to miss any of my therapies requested pain killers from the doctor. I don’t know what was in the small pill that they gave me but within 5 minutes it had gone! The day was somewhat difficult in so much as I couldn’t summon up the energy to fully participate for some reason. The massage with exercises seemed harder than the day before and the electrical acupuncture sent both my legs into spasm which was difficult to relax with needles all over them!
I returned to my room and there waiting for me was a drip which allegedly was to relieve any reoccurrence of migrane. It seemed to take ages to empty and I was absolutely starving. Managed to get something to eat before the next round but again I was feeling rather sluggish and was starting to dither and sweat. The migrane started to return and Richard couldn’t lift me and my legs just wasn’t wait bearing at all. I was bungled up stairs to my room on the 14 floor, where, wait for it another drip was waiting for me and no it wasn’t Richard! Rich went off to cook some tea, baked beans, spring onions, tomatoes, scrambled egg and chopped ham & pork, well anything’s better than more Chinese food!
I later went to bed still with a mild headache, the nurse came to check on me later in the evening and couldn’t believe I’d still got a headache so she prescribed what they call Chinese medicine it as well of been a sweet & sour pork for all I knew! I later started sweating and straight away thought a week in bed.
