Stem Cells China Day 10 – 07.03.07

Well the weather here today is drab to say the least nd the smog that is usually present now looks like low lying fog, but it’s set improve so I hear. Richard & Lynn’s cooking went well last night and we used one of the staff rooms for what appeared to be a banquet! It was a great idea of theirs as it got everyone together from all nationalities and there doesn’t seem to be any barriers where food is concerned. Fabio from Brazil was the star eater he really got stuck in and we had a great laugh with Lynn telling naughty stories! As the food came to an end my head started to thump again and had to resort to the usual Chinese medicine to knock me out and dream of tomorrows thrashing in rehab.

Almost as soon as I got up this morning I could feel my head start to thump albeit slight at first so I resorted to taking my own pills again as I’d have been late for my appt. I started on the inversion table and then went through to the acupuncture room where I thought I was in for muscle massage. What a shock I was in for as they rolled up my trouser legs and started sticking needles all over the place. If I never have acupuncture again it’ll be too soon, I’m sure Richard is setting me up! I had no more treatments planned as I was having my second lot of Stem Cells at 4.30 and had to rest. We watched a DVD which promptly sent me to sleep, what better rest could I have? Sure enough on the button my Cells arrived and had finished by 8pm. I didn;t feel any different but was starving so we sent out for a pizza. Got to bed at 1130 which is late for me, i think I was expecting some miracle to happen! See you in the morning.

There’s no more treatments today as I’m having my second shot of Stemm Cells by IV drip and so it’s given me time to update my blog. Well I can’t say that there have been any real significant improvements other than my earlier report but I suppose it’s early days yet.
