WARNING-May Contain Overusage of Exclamation Points!!!!
So today was pretty uneventful as far as crazy food and funny stories about our experiences while being out and about go. We stayed in today because, Michelle’s physical therapy and rehabilitation is very demanding and requires alot of her time and energy. She is kicking butt on the exercise bike thanks to Martin, her physical therapist. She had her physical therapy session in the morning and her rehabilitation session this afternoon followed by acupuncture, which she does not find too enjoying! It is pretty painful and leaves some major bruises. 
On a more upbeat note, she did get her three seconds of fame with Nightline! She got to do a formal, sitdown interview with a correspondent reporter from Nightline explaining her disease and symptoms as well as her experience thus far in China and getting her first stem cell injection. She was pretty excited to get the word out about Fredriech’s and how this type of treatment should be available in the United States. If you ask anyone who has recieved the treatment regardless of their disease they all agree. It is a shame that Americans or any nationality for that matter should have to travel such a long distance, not to mention being in a foreign country, to recieve treatment that is highly beneficial and crucial to their quality of life. I am not saying that sometimes it is not necessary to travel to another country for cutting edge treatment. I just feel that if the country in which you live has the capability, but refuses to make it readily available due to politics just assanine! Ok I am getting off my soapbox now…LOL! Tonight after the interview, we went out to this restaraunt that the reporter recommended. It was in this BEAUTIFUL hotel and was pretty close to food that we are more used to. It was fun. This was the first time that we went out at night and we really enjoyed ourselves. The city is breathtaking at night. Don’t worry everyone I haven’t drug Michelle to any nightclubs….yet! 
We miss everyone and love getting comments so keep it up! They give Michelle something to look forward to and makes her feel closer to home, not to mention gives me something to do! Hope everyone is doing well and we will be home before you know it!
(Hope there weren’t too many ! Dougie. In my defense I warned you in the title! Lots of love to ya Dougie…keep up that sarcastic attitude I miss it! There’s no one to banter with here. Michelle gives up too easily!)
