Feeling good today after lumbar injection last night.
Met with the doctors this morning, they were all very pleased.
Lots of therapy today, all went good. Both the therapist and Bob say they can see a noticeable difference, so that’s good.
All of the doctors and therapists have caught on to Bob and I’s not so serious humor, and it agree with them. One of my therapist, Anna, is teaching Bob and I how to speak Chinese, in fact she has already given us homework. She tried to teach us how to use chopsticks, but we both gave up.
Went out and around the neighbor-hood this afternoon, good exercise. With my schedule it’s hard to go out for more than two hours.
Tomorrow is more therapy and massage.

Actually this is day 7, but day 7 was a Sunday. It rained all day so we will just skip it.
Met with more doctors and specialists this morning, going over my treatment since my first lumbar puncture is this afternoon. Lots of therapy today and then acupuncture.
My first lumbar was today, the procedure on took about 20 minutes. No pain after, just lying flat for six fours was a little difficult.
Met with the people from New Zealand today, she suffers from MS. They are both very friendly and outgoing. Besides having her caregiver her father is coming to visit for five days.
The hospital receives two for patients this week, both from the United States. By the end of the week the doctors thought all of the rooms would be full.
Hopefully it stops raining this week and they let us outside, because we are getting way behind on our sightseeing.
Growing very accustomed to the food here, only had one meal that Bob and I will not order again. Bob and I went out to a traditional Chinese restaurant and tried ordering by ourselves, big mistake! Domestic meals here are very cheap, finacialy, a person would never get a meal good meal in the states for $2.00 US.
We found out that it is very easy to bargain with the store owners.
Well, I do not have another treatment until Friday, just therapy, so I will talk tomorrow.
