Exciting times ahead.

It’s 14 months since we returned from Qingdao and my last treatment.  I can positively report that things are going well healthwise for me.  In fact yeasterday I realised a couple of differences:

a)  I have halved the amount of Baclofen taken each day.  About 6 months ago I did an experiment, by only taking 10mg at night (and not morning as well).  Shortly I will drop the dosage down again to 5mg and see what happens. 

b)  My feet are not nearly as sensitive as they used to be.  In fact for the first time in about 20 years I have started wearing sandles again.  I never did because I always had to have my feet protected in socks to stop the terrible aggravation they felt when rubbing on shoes.  Now my bare feet are happy in sandles…..  also I dont suffer from bloated, swollen feet anymore which is not a great look for sandles :)

So all in all I am still benefiting from better bladder control, less pain and wonderful nights sleeping. 

Chris and I plan to return to Qingdao in May or June 2010, not for more stem cells this trip, but to establish Sailability there.  Through the Access Dinghy Foundation we have donated 6 x Access 2.3 and so our return will begin sailing activities for the entire Qingdao communty.
