Stem Cells China Day 22 20.03.07
Had a late night last night, as Cesar & Fabio from Brazil were leaving for home in the early hours. It’s always sad when you have two great characters within a group so closely knit, leave, they brought great humour to the group as well as Fabio lifting me from the limb table as it was little low for Richard. He was built like a Russian shot put thrower and lifted me into my chair like a rag doll. Needless to say I was bleary eyed this morning. Had a great session in rehab where the stakes were now upped with me having to perform exercise for longer together with new targets to reach. I’m finding them extremely challenging but I’m trying my best and I am seeing some pleasing results as small as they may be. I could feel the tension in my face as I focussed hard on the task in hand. One of the small changes is my left hand that has been clenched tight for some time is now free and can flex my fingers a little, and I’m sure it will improve with practice. My energy is still good with no sign of fatigue which is just what I want if I’m to continue with this rigorous regime.
Got a further Stem Cell infusion this afternoon and I can only hope that with time I may see some more positive results and that they continue to grow new myelin sheath around my spinal chord. As the infusion is relatively quick I’m planning going out this evening for a bite to eat. I may even experiment further with some Chinese delicacy! Oh bye the way after much deliberation I’ll be staying a few more days to fit in another spinal injection of Stem Cells, the opportunity was just too good to miss so I’m going for it!
