One week to go
Our first restaurant meal
Hi everyone,
Happy 30th Anniversary Sandra and Keith, and many more to come!
Nothing much is happening here. Jack got through his 4th injection the same as the others. The physio seems to think that his tone is less and I agree that he has been a bit more relaxed the last coupl of days. The docs see this as an improvement, but I’m not convinced as this is what Jack is like. He goes through days of tightness then relaxes. He is also getting used to Daisey so is relaxing more with her.
All of the American children have gone home over the last few days. I think that their school term starts again soon. We met some really nice mums and it would be great to stay in touch to see how the kids progress. The Canadian men, Cameron, Brian and Bob, left yesterday too, they were lovely. Andy enjoyed some male company as they met him on a few occasions for a drink at the hotel. Cameron was here having treatment for a spinal injury that occurred approx 20years ago in a car accident, and his outlook on life is more positive that most people I know. They’ve now gone for a three day break in Hong Kong before travelling home,( sounds like a good idea).
They have mostly been replaced bt Hungarians, so lacking a bit of English speaking company. We’ve still got Scott next door from England with his friend and thier are two American couples , the Irish lads and three Italian lads. They’re so funny the Italians and so friendly. They’re always chatting the nurses up! The Irish lads are seem quiet but really nice and polite.
Yesterday, we got out of the hospital and went to the hotel ,then across to a new supermarket that Andy found. Jack loved it . It was packed with people and kids and lots of people kept bringing their kids up to say hello to Jack. (not that he would smile back!) Then we went into one of the restaurants in the hotel, for the first time. We were the only one’s in there but Jack seemed impressed with the place and it was lovely just to sit and have a steak and a glass of wine. (My first alcohol for three weeks!) Jack was impressed with the big basket of different breads that the waitress brought out, especially the brown bread that he thought would be chocolate flavoured, but of course wasn’t. After the first bite he decided to try some different ones!
Andy is still going to the Gym every night (and no Jim isn’t the bartenders name as my sister asked)
I’ve found out that the market that Andy went to and said was just full of “tat” was in fact where you get all the silk pyjamas and gifts from so – he’s on his way back there tomorrow to pick up some gifts. Lord knows what he’ll come back with! I’ve told Zach that he’s in charge and to guide him in the right directions!
Just for infromation purposes the treatment here is the same price for everyone no matter which country they come from ,it’s in $us. (That’s info for Martin who I don’t know if got my Email.)
Anyway im going now.
Jack has his next spinal on Wednesday.
Bye for now
Jane, Andy and Jack x
