Last full day!
December 10th, 2008
Today started with blood work at 7:30 am….they want to make sure that you didn’t catch anything here! Soon after, regular electric wave treatment followed by a physio evaluation and report. They want to ensure that Kevin continues his progress. No accupuncture today….someone obviously got the message across!
Last night was not great for either us….I think I kept the mister up, coughing my head off and sniffling…this morning, Dr. Mary took one look at me and said, “it is time for some traditional chinese medicine”….soon, along came Casey with a box with 10 tiny vials of brown liquid, “take one now and every 8 hours until gone” ….how do I take it, Case? …I show you….in goes the tinest little straw….”now, drink…it tastes good”….Now, if I had a Yuan everytime I heard a Chinese person tell me that here……Ok….it wasn’t half bad if you like espresso (coffee). It was like a shooter of cafeine….but pretty sure it’s the root of something I don’t want to know about 
…..I spent the day packing suitcases, weighing them, repacking them….reweighing them…lol! ….cleaning out the cupboards, the fridge, etc. I gave Michael and Lisa (new in from Australia) all of our dishes, towels, food, can opener, etc…..it’s just life here……pass on what you’re not taking home…. Clarence went walking in West Lake and brought us our last (thank fattening goodness!) Starbucks hot chocolate grande! Some good today, boys o boys…..just what the doctor ordered….sort of….Kevin’s arm was still quite swollen so lots of extra attention on him….there are not a lot of patients here right now needing therapy as there are many here for blindness…..so 3 therapists worked on him all afternoon…..you know, he won’t be fit to live with! If I am over my baggage allowance, I know what I’m leaving behind
Alf came in today and shot a video of him talking as well as walking and some other physio….hates it when others are watching him….makes him nervous and he doesn’t do as well but everyone notices his improvements…..Leslie came for a visit after her physio and watched (was trapped in the room, really!) the interview….
Just got the doc’s report including physio. Cleared to go….lots of paper work today….satisfaction survey, evaluation of progress, and on and on…..
Lots of the nurses in today as they won’t see us again….a few tears…lots of hugs…
