Stem Cells China Day 14 11.03.07
What a difference a day makes I was feeling a lot better and a lot stronger even though I was still feeling little weak. I was so glad as it was the hospitals day of rest and everyone was planning to go to a nearby Mall with lots of shops and I was determined to go, so proceeded to get ready PDQ. I knew that if I lingered too long there’d be another drip in my arm so promptly went missing!
The taxi vehicles arrived which were very high class. High being the operative word and had to be first lifted onto the step and then onto the seat. All carers gave a hand to each other for what was quickly becoming a close knit family because nothing that each one of them wouldn’t do to help assist each other. At last I was seeing a little more of Shenzhen. The living is fast and trying to jump lights at every opportunity and horns are almost compulsory to keep the traffic moving with one horn or another being blasted every few seconds.
The Mall had five floors with every inch of space used to sell someone’s wares. They weren’t so much shops as glass fronted stalls all selling much of the same items, electrical, leather, tea’s, shoes, speciality items. It was a great place for haggling

Stem Cells China Day 13 10.03.07
I was determined to get out of bed this morning despite instruction as I new that if I could just have a shave and shower I would feel a lot better. No sooner had I done this then the door was knocking and then every ten minutes or so for the rest of the day with Doctor after Doctor after nurse checking on my condition and progress. I did feel better after the shower but still felt lousy so I wrapped up warm as directed before being put onto yet another drip! The weather was like pea soup with a constant smog all day, everyone was going out this evening for a meal at a fish restaurant and I was very much playing it by ear. Richard ventured out to get some shopping and was shocked when he returned with him almost gasping for breath. He made the decision for me that I best stay in tonight as that smog was murder and would do me no favours. Richard however, bless him had a surprise in store and was gone for almost an hour. He returned with Steak, Chips, Beans and Tomatoes what a feast it was great and threatened to tell his wife that he could cook. Unfortunately I had to leave some as by this time I was absolutely full before settling down to watch a DVD. During the course of the day my temperature had hardly moved albeit lower than the previous day and was just hoping for a better day tomorrow. I kept in touch with my family, my sister and sister in law during the day always a tower of strength, which was just what I needed.
