Game on….
May 12th, 2007
Many of you may not know this but for the last 4 weeks I have been having an ongoing battle with a chubby chinese lady (I say chubby cause most people over here are the size of one of my legs). The battlefield is in the physio room, more specifically the standing table in the physio room. Apparently we are both booked to stand at the same time, its pretty much become a race to see who gets there first. Sometimes I win, sometimes she wins and as the days pass we have been getting to physio progressively earlier and earlier and earlier. Its been a mutual game between the two of us and as far as I can tell its been as humerous for her as it has been for me. This past week I’ve been rather pokey so the standings are as follows: Chubby chinese lady – 5, Leslie – 1. Game on….
I had my 4th stem cell treatment on Wednesday, this one was a spinal. I was the first to go in and so I had a lovely window view. When he put the needle in, yes I felt it, my right leg freaked out. Other than that it went very well, but no smack on the butt, I gotta be honest….I was disapointed. Even the tiny nurses who put me on my back counted to three and ta da, no problem. I said ‘nice work ladies’ and they clapped and giggled. On the way out I caught a glimpse of the needle they use and quickly shut my eyes. Big….enough said. 6 hour on my back, same old boring, next time I’m opting for the sleepy meds first. Had a headache the next day so I took it easy and even the next day, still had a small headache. Today all good and no more headache. Only 2 more treatments to go, one spinal and one IV. And only 7 days left, wow time flew by. I miss home so much but at the same time it will be hard to leave all these wonderful people behind.
P.S. Julie G. my mom says she thinks of you every morning:)

Hey Leslie!!
So when are you gonna write your first book?? Who knew that with all those weird words and expressions I’ve had to ask you to explain to me over the years, that you are actually so….eloquent??? LOL
I can honestly say that I am NOT jealous of your mom right now…..just hoping that I haven’t lost ALL my muscle power for your return ( keep smiling mom! ). Domi better be ready for some serious lovin’ too…..I miss our cuddle time. Anyway, keep writing for your captivated readers and hurry home !

I love that you answer all the questions that I am thinking as I read your blog…I was thinking, do you feel the needle?….Did they pat you on the but this time?…..Did you get another headache after the injection?….Was the needle huge? I really think that you need to write a book about your experience, you crack me up!!! I can’t wait 6 more days till you come back to good old Milton….But I can understand how you are gonna miss the people there, I hate goodbyes ( as you know )
Love you babe….keep on trucking
p.s. Go Leafs!!!!

Since your losing 5-1 i think its time for some new tactics. Im thinking maybe you should post a sign on the physio door “physio cancelled today” or the ever popular ” back in 15 minutes” you know, play a little road runner-coyote style.
Good luck and God bless
