Final day, leave for airport at 6:30 AM.
Last therapy and acupuncture through the hospital was today, the therapist gave me excersies to do at home. Today was arguably the best day of therapy, where were the cameras today?
Today was filled with a lot of photos and good byes.

Lumbar injection went well yesterday.
Therapy went good today, until they filmed me for their web site, it’s amazing how nervous I get in front of a camera. During final evaluation they scored me as having a 25 % increase. One more day of therapy and acupuncture.
After thursday there will only be two patients left here if Shanghai. In fact after saturday there will only be one doctor, one patient rep, the nursing staff and the patients.
Bob and I are getting our luggage ready for initial weigh in tonight, if we’re to heavy somethings might have to stay in China.
Still no SKYPE.
First thing when we get to Chicago is to eat a big steak (beef). Food here has been good, but no rice for at least one month.
Gave up on seeing the Expo site, can’t see anything until it’s finished. Only thing left is to ride the magnetic train.

More therapy and acupuncture.
Last lumbar injection today, around 3 PM.
Tomorrow I have another photo op and interview.
Spent most of the weekend walking around Shanghai, it’s our last weekend in China.
People here are really excited about going home for Spring Festival. They say buying a train ticket can take standing line for up to four hours.
Lot of stuff to get accomplished this week before we leave thursday morning.
I have two more therapy sessions and one more of acupuncture and massage.
Today something happened to the hard drive of my computer, and I am not able to use SKYPE. For the people back on the U.S. that I talk to on a regular basis, don’t worry.
