July 6th, 2007

chinese breakfast…hubby wanted it. i’ve been having cereal and pop-tarts for breakfast lately because man, you get tired of having chinese food here!
the stem cells were requested from beida’s (beijing university) research center at 9am, but you know with beijing traffic, they’re ALWAYS LATE! so, the OR nurse cameat 9:40-ish am to get me. i requested to be the first of 3 patients getting injections last friday. hehe gotta be pushy to get what you want sometimes…
i was all smiles this time because i knew it’d be the last one of my lumbar puncture injections!!! my last time to OR hubby took more pix when i returnedalso i found out from dr. xi that the reason i had such bad headaches last time i got the stem cell injection was because i turned to my left and right sides during my 6 hours after the injection!!! xi told me that you must stay FLAT ON YOUR BACK the whole 6 hours to make sure you don’t get any headaches! so this last time, i stayed flat on my back reading magazines. i wish i could sleep like basil does; he also got his injection on friday.
