Stem Cells China Day 25 23.03.07
March 25th, 2007
Went down to rehab with renewed energy and I was determined to try harder today. Judy decided not to use the inversion table today so went straight onto the limb table but this woman shows no mercy for it felt as though she was bending my arms behind my back whilst stretched out straight! She went through the usual warm up techniques and massage and then sat me up and stretched my back with both hands on a medicine ball, I didn’t realise how much my muscles had contracted. It was complimented by throwing a football from all different directions to further stretch both my arms and legs. My time had quickly come to an end but asked if she could do a little more as although it was strenuous I felt I needed to do as much as I could whilst I could (I must be mad!) I really enjoyed today and felt content with the effort I had put in. I returned to my room had some lunch and to kill time before my bone marrow Stem Cell injection into the spine decided to go strolling and enjoy the fine weather. My time for my op was 5pm and yet again they were spot on time, although this time I requested a muscle relaxant. The next I knew it was 7.30pm and I was garbling such rubbish (No change there then!) and it was reported that my neighbours carer Marie popped in to see how I was because she just couldn’t believe how loud my snoring was!! There I lay on my back for some six hours listening to my MP3 just to pass the time before getting out of bed at 11.30. This I was dreading as I was expecting the migraine that followed, but alas and thank heavens didn’t occur.

yo ug, how ya doin’. Mom tells me you have been out shopping today. Hope you managed to get me something nice. Did mom tell you about my school report? Here are some comments that some of the teachers made…. He has shown a very positive attitude and participated with enthusiasm (form tutor)….. His work is exciting (art)…. a bright and enthusiastic member of class and always willing to make a contribution (pshe) a mature approach to his studies (geography) an agreeable, cheerful pupil who is a pleasure to teach (maths) a very posotive attitude (history) shows good leadership skills (p.e) has achieved some very good test results above target (science). so i think that must be worth a laptop hadn’t it? look forward to seeing you Fridayxxxx Todd

Didn’t know about your blog til tonight – I have missed out on so much. Luckily it has been quiet enough (shouldn’t have said that!!!) to read it all. It sounds absolutely fantastic! Don’t know about you but there have been a few tears here reading this!!! (such an emotional wreck at times I am!!).
I am so pleased and proud of you going through what you have with such results as well.
Keep up the hard work!
Glad to know Richard is working hard!!!!! (all that shopping!)
Love to you both
