Playing Catchup!
March 14th, 2007
Okay, sorry it’s been so long since the last blog entry. We had our shopping trip Sunday, Michelle’s injection on Monday, and yesterday we were feeling a little under the weather. First things first. Sunday was a lot of fun and really interesting. 2 vans full of patients and families and nurses went to Hangzhou and shopped in the traditional Chinese market. It was so much fun haggling with the merchants. I haggled for me and Michelle and got some very good deals I might add!
Monday Michelle recieved her second injection and it went alot better than last time. She was not asleep the medicine didn’t take effect so after talking to the doctors and getting the translators’ assistance, next time she is going to go down to the third floor and get anesthesia so she will be completely out to make the treatment alot less painful and easier on her nerves. She feels pretty good and is getting around alot better than last time. With every treatment and therapy session she seems to be getting stronger and have more control and confidence with every step she takes.
Today we went to Hangzhou even though it was raining cats and dogs outside. If I catch pneumonia, Mom, you can blame Michelle! She refused to stay in the room today! 
It was thundering and lightning like crazy so our umbrellas definitely came in handy. We brought along Pete, a swell kid from Wisconsin who is here with his cousin who is recieving treatment. We had a good time. We went to the hotel to get breakfast but got there too late and got lunch instead. Then we went into town and went shopping for name brand purses. Then we went to Starbucks! Which was superb. While I’m on the subject of superb, Michelle and I got a great massage today! Wendy arranged for 2 ladies from a massage parlor to come to our hospital room and give us an hour long massage. It was great! It cost 100 RMBs plus we each gave them an extra 10 RMBs which totalled approximately 13.89 USD a piece. I can’t speak for Michelle but have I mentioned that I LOVE China and may never come back? LOL Just kidding! Well, I am going to hit the sack and get some shuteye! I really hope all is well with everyone and will write more tomorrow!
