the trip
for those of you reading this, i’m gonna guess you know me. if not, “yo” my name is zack, i’m 17 years old and i have friedrichs ataxia. i have had this illness for years. i am a self made man, a certified gangster and a ”playa”. i am a very idependant man, i can take care of myself, i go to the gym and i box 4-5 days a week. i have a pretty good sens of humour, i have amazing friends, mess with them and i will shank you. now that i have told you a bit about myself, i will attempt to explain the trip to china as it happened/happenes. after an insainly long ass plane ride to china, im brought to the hospital by a beautifull translator named lucy.everything went good when i arrived at the hospital, at the exception of the insain elevators. many people will dive infront of you just to get in, but all in all its good. the staff on the 20th floor is incredible, they are sick as hell which is good…. they have four translators, johnny the coolest and funniest guy ever, lucy the pretty one from earlier, rebbeca, the pretty slave girl my mom forces to shop with her, and the “boss” lucca,one of the coolest nicest guys i have ever met. they also have a handfull of nurses that are cool and nice as hell… (they are pretty too. so be jealous…..but most of them are married =[ …) my official doctor here is dr hong, she is very nice and cute. my physio therapist/acupuncture dude is a guy named andy, he is really cool, he does not speek much english and doesn’t talk much but i think he is cool. him and i have built a strong relationship as friends, but he stabs me with damn needles every damn day for acupuncture…it is slowly ruining our friendship…kidding, anyway, the day i arrived i settled in, the next day they took blood samples and then i was ready to go. the day after my results came good, i was ready for some ” go go juice” (go go juice = stem cells ) on monday the 7th i think i received my first treatment through i.v. in my hand. things went well and i was full of energy. the following morning i was bum rushed by like 5 drs. nd like 100 nurses, but what ever i’m cool like that right? anyway, i seen positive results the next day, i could bend over and touch the floor nd bend my knees…i thought that was pretty cool cause i havin’t done that in years. i could also stand still in one spot for a long periode…my mom cried a little, i laughed, a lot…infact i havin’t laughed that hard since i was a little girl….ahhhh good times…but yeah, its 1 30 ish in the morning, i have things to do in the morning so i’m gonna peace out to bed….peace out word to your mothers
