Day 13
I find it hard to believe that tomorrow we will have been in China for two weeks. First, I have a correction to make; the city the hospital is in is Xiaoshan. The other is the name of a hotel near the hospital; I have been told it is cheap and very nice.
Sunday we went to the zoo…I do not like zoos but I did want to see a Giant Panda, who by the way takes a very nice video. We also saw ‘the lesser panda’. That night we ate out at the Teppanyaki House near the ‘New Century Hotel’. It was OK…great for meat lovers (which I am not) and those with large appetites (not one of those either).
Yesterday, all the treatments began again. At one stage I was crawling around on my hands and knees. I have to say that Andy works me hard! I did not do my supposed 30 minutes standing rather after 10 minutes I said I had had enough. Today, I will do 15 minutes or maybe a little more.
In the shower today, I used my right hand nearly as well as my unaffected hand. My left leg is much more flexible. I am walking better but still find it nearly impossible to lift my right knee.
Tomorrow, I have another SCT by lumbar puncture (that will be my third). I am having my bone marrow harvest on the 4th, God willing. So far three people who have booked for them have, after testing here, been told that are unable to have a bone marrow transplant; two people have had hepatitis and the other had insufficient lung capacity. That’s all folks…take care.
