2nd stem cell injection
JC went for his 2nd injection last night and we were not nervous this time but very excited as we have seen what amazing things happened for a couple of days after the 1st. He is suppesed to lie down for at least 6 hours flat, no pillow and no movements. Well he had to go to pee and wouldn’t go in a bottle like I suggested and went after only 2 hours. I hope that he doesn’t get a crazy headache from this. He went to physio and acupuncture this morning even though his back is a little sore in the injection area. We are the only ones down there because most of the doctors are on a holiday for a couple of days, I think that it is like our labor day. Let me tell you these people in China deserve a holiday, they bring new meaning to the words hard work.
The people all take pride in their work and never just stand around. I have never seen so much physical labor, people are digging ditches, lifting huge pieces of concrete into trucks, pulling cart loads, piled high down the streets and carrying heavy baskets on each shoulder filled with fruits or whatever. It is no wonder why everyone is so thin.
We went to get a foot massage and even these guys were tiring me out just watching them. This massage was an hour but only $7.00. First you sit on these very comfy chairs and put your feet in these buckets each has a new bag in it so that you know you aren’t going to catch some sort of foot fungus, which is VERY important for me to know this. Our hot water feels very gritty on the bottom and you can’t see your feet because it is quite murky. Then they start massaging your back, I made sure that the hospital staff wrote down the word for very gentil on a paper and I show them before we start. If this is gentil I would hate to see rough. When they start working on our feet, the guys are looking at my feet and are talking about them, and laughing. So I decide if they think my feet are freaky now wait until I show them my babytoe trick. For those of you who know me you know I can move my baby toe out quite far it’s funny. So I tell JC and Cindy (from US) to watch how they react. They are all looking at me like I am crazy and we all can’t stop laughing.
We are eating better now. We went to KFC and ordered chicken burgers. On the sign it looks like back home but once I take a bite it is defineately not like home. My body vilently shakes and I have to spit it out. It is all brown inside, it looks awful. I decide to try again and my body does the same thing and I spit is out. Enough of that I eat the fries. JC ate his no problem. I am not a picky eater at home I will eat anything. We had eggs this morning and when we cracked them open one is full of red stuff, I say blood, he says I am crazy and he eats it. I try but can’t get my head around the blood thing so I leave mine. I have never left an empty plate in my life, here I haven’t finished a plate. Oh I forgot to tell you that after I ate the chicken burger I had all these long string things in my teeth. Maybe they have dental floss inside there meal insead of after. Well I have to go. JC is walking good today and he wants to take me out somewhere to eat, HELP!!!!!!!!!!
