Julia had Jay today, he was in a really bad mood, he wouldn’t do anything for his therapies or for Julia most of the day. We have noticed Jays eyes seem to be very wide like he’s staring alot, I have asked other patients here and some others had it also.It’s my birthday today, I received some season greeting cards as mum and julia couldn’t find any birthday cards. I went to the silk market with Shirley where I ordered a taylor made suit, made of cashmere, if it is nice I will order some more. It was good to go shopping with someone who speaks Chinese you seem to get things a good bit cheaper.
Jay has his third stem cell injection tomorrow, lets hope it goes as well as the second one.

Nicola spent the day with Jay and trying to tidy the room up as it is very difficult with 4 in a room with all the suit cases and everything when you have nowhere to put them. Mum and Julia surprised me with a birthday cake (today because of the people going home tomorrow whom we have got to know) so we could share with them all before they left.

Today Jay and Grandma on our own all day. Nicola and Julia went off again to Silk Market and Jay and Grandma escaped from the hospital. We went for a long walk down the small streets with all the locals with their little shops and loads of fruit and vegetable stalls. Again very impressed with their friendliness and their happy content way of life, always speaking in their best english to try to make contact. Grandma found a type of park where the locals go to fly their kites and their children playing without traffic around. Jay can get out of his wheel chair and walk freely without fear of him getting knocked down or tripping up on anything. We returned and spent the rest of the day between the computer room and the bedroom. Making conversation with other patients and relatives at the hospital. Listening to their stories, very interesting and sad as some of the people who went from strong people to people who can no longer function properly. Jay went to bed about 9.30pm early for a change.

Nothing different apart from Jay went back to PT and Nicola and mum went to Pearl Market and when we were there Nicola bought some wigs and when we got back we had a wig trying session with Jay, Julia, mum and one of the patients Steve and had such a laugh it cheered us all up and took away the menotony of the hospital day to day routine. Jay had his picture taken with Shirlene, (one of the nurses) wearing the long wig and if we can post it on the blog we will do so, so funny. All went to bed tonight with a smile on our faces.

Jay had OT and TCM and was very good for both of them. No real changes with Jay so nothing to report apart from he was back to his mischievous, cheeky self.
As previously mentioned I had an infected cyst, the antibiotics would clear it but the infection kept coming back so the Doctor said it would probably be best to remove it. The operation was was done in our room, it took about an hour, the cut was about 3cms long and I was given a local aneasthetic and the whole thing was a bit comical, there was 2 doctors and 2 translaters along with my mum, Julia, Jay and a nurse popping in an out to see everything ok. Julia watched the whole operation, she watches Holby City and Casualty and said the real thing was much better. After the stitching up the doctor showed us the cyst as I asked if I could take it home but the doctor said “no very dirty” then picked it up and cut it open with a scalpol and showed us white yucky stuff inside it and said just like spot in your face. This was the excitement for the day. Later on in the evening I felt some pain, Julia had her strong pain killers and came to my assistance. These made me quite light headed and when doctor Wisdom started to talk to me about Jay I was quite out of it.
