HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK (a big 9)
mum and dad would have loved to have been there with you, but we will catch up soon.
rachel is just back from her stem cell injection (spinal),whilst groggy when she came back she said she was awake for the whole procedure (not sure if that is supposed to happen). anyway hope she can sleep and stay still for 5-6 hours this time and have no backpain or headache tomorrow.
b4 we the injection a group of us went across the strret (bit of an exercise in itself) for a massage. rachel crossed the 6 lane highway with 2 staff accompanying (and she tries to tell me i’m mad over here…..never at home). the rest of us (3 in wheelchairs) went the civil route via the lights, a bit longer and fractionally safer. the massage was enjoyed by all and now maybe the massours will come over to our floor save us walking with wheelchairs (there were no elevators to get uo 2nd floor so had to be carried up and down.
rachel did rehab this morning as usual and a quick session this arvo b4 stemcells. the session this morning was one of her better ones, the coordination certainly on the improve. she was walking on the treadmill at 5km/hr (at least that is what it said) with no hands hanging on, not a hope in hell of doing that b4.
i bought some things from the little shop downstairs this morning and gave them too much money (i know, ican’t imagine myself doing that either), but the little shop keeper found me in the elevator and gave me my change (i think they recognise that i buy all my beer from their shop)
better go and check the boss and watch another movie in the room until she wakes up and has something to eat approx 10pm.
I HAVE READ 4 NOVELS IN THE 2 WEEKS ….wonder if that will happen when i go home
