I had my final stem cell injection today. Everything went well. Thanks to my wife who was so concerned I had too much anesthetic the first time I don’t think I get much of anything. I continue to have increased sensitivity in several areas and more strength. Other changes will just have to see and I’m trying to be patient. We have gotten several new patients in and at one time there were four different languages being spoken at the same time. This was really overwhelming for a small town boy . We have been stocking up on 60 cent DVD’s for the trip home. I can’t wait to get home for a porksteak. That’s a blunt hint Deb. These next two days can’t go fast enough. I know I still have plenty of hard work to do. My cousin Phil Carson has continued to encourage me to Fight the Good Fight —Run the Race —-Finish the Course. I confidently put my body and soul in God’s Hands. Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. Peter 5:7 God Willing Wayne
