Stem Cells China Day 17 14.03.07
Got up relatively early this morning considering our late night last night and Richard reminded me that I was not to take a shower this morning due to getting the wound wet on my back so had to make do with a cat lick! Went for my usual treatment, which seems to get harder by the day.
A pretty none plus day really but we were delighted to hear of a good restaurant just a few blocks away so guess where we went tonight. When we got there it would seem that nearly all Stem Cell patients were already there! We decided to go along a few back streets to see the various stalls, my god do they sell some tat and mountains of it! We noticed on out travels that they intend opening the new bridge between Hong Kong and Shenzhen which will save a mountain of time for travellers. We ended the night with yet another DVD and within ten minutes or so I’m told I’d gone, see you tomorrow.

Stem Cells China Day 16 13.03.07

I think, understandably, I had a restless night for whilst I was looking forward to my Bone Marrow extraction I was somewhat apprehensive not knowing really what to expect. Having showered and dressed the theatre staff arrived again spot on time and took me directly into theatre where I had to wait a further 20 minutes as Doctor Yang had been delay in the emergency dept. This compounded my apprehension whilst I waited as I just wanted to get this procedure over and done with. I was told prior to the operation that I would be given a general anaesthetic, great I thought I wouldn’t know a thing until waking up in my bedroom
