Day 20 11/4/08
November 5th, 2008
Didn’t sleep very well last night. Made for a very long day. That and a few things going kablooey. I am writing tonight on one of the hospital computers, because I spilled diet coke on my keyboard. It didn’t seem to do too much damage, but writing this without using “b” or “n” would be somewhat of a challenge. Since I don’t know where to get it fixed (the place I went to to fix the DVD didn’t) I’ll have to buy a keyboard. Hopefully I can find one in English, since writing this in Chinese would also be somewhat of a challenge.
Then my Palm Pilot (yeah, I know they don’t call them that anymore) froze. I was able to do a restart, but now I have a blank Palm Pilot, which I can’t synch, since that’s the other thing wrong with my computer. It’s not like I have that much of a schedule here, but now I can’t play any of the games.
Then I had a meeting with the doctors, who told me that I must have misunderstood about the short needle, and that they would try to do a spinal, but there were no guarantees.
Finally, one thing did go right, I think. I met Jonathan Hakim, COO of Beike, who was very responsive to my misgivings, and said that they DID use short needles here. He also said that he would look in to the situation, and try to rectify it. I certainly hope he does.
Other then that, PT went poorly due to my lack of sleep, and I almost got electrocuted when they set the electrowave machine on well done.
I think all of these things bothered me more than they should have because I really have had enough, and I’m ready to go home. But I still should have stayed in bed. It’s 1:30, thats where I’m heading now.

Ok, I”m getting a little annoyed here. Did you fork over a year’s salary to these people to eat corn pizza and dumplings for 4 weeks and be tortured by their P/T guys, or did you practically kill yourself by flying 1/2 way across the universe for the spinal injections? You know how much I love being fed a bunch of BS, and I didn’t know that Chinese drs were on a par w/agents, but what is this insanity going on over there???? Yes we will, no we won’t, yes we can, no we can’t, short needles, thick backs, BSBSBSBSBSBS!!!!! Enough already~ who’s the head guy and kick his ass please. Boy, this gets me angry. You give someone your life (and a ton of $) and they play games??
Alright, I’m done with my rant. But seriously. is this back and forth crap happening to Jim? Did the drs at this clinic ever mention in any of their pre-go-to-China information that you might not get that which you went there for? Sorry to bombard you, but I know that you know that this is imperatively important.
On a lighter note, should I do ‘turnabout is fair play’ on Chris and start humming Hail to the Chief…..
Love~ your very irritable sister
