back in london since july 20th, 2007
i have to tell you that i meant to go back to the hospital for some physiotherapy after my discharge from tiantan puhua hospital on june 30th, but i never did. 
why?
i got sick 3 times in july 
so i never got a chance to go back to the hospital for any therapy sessions. i luckily can work my tongue by myself as dr. wang and dr. wu, the “directors” of my case told me to. i had planned on returning to the hospital to work with alice, my physiotherapist, after i checked out, but again, i had fevers so i could barely get out of bed.
we were lucky to leave china when we did because i had a bad fever just 2 or 3 days before we left. luckily i also have a wonderful GP in beijing at the international medical centre beijing, a dr. salahat, who prescribed me some antibiotics and some vitamin C drops and some bufferin cold medicine which dr. xi, my main “junior” doctor at tiantan puhua, prescribed to me when i called her and told her i had fevers. sigh. we were lucky i was ok when we left beijing. i did not have any fevers, so that was a true blessing!
i will have to add more pictures about what happened at tiantan puhua later. but i wanted to let you know that we are back home in london now. luckily i am not sick now. i had another fever 2 weeks ago so we didn’t make it to our church here in london. we were disappointed to miss it, but oh well.
also i need to work on my balance problems which alice worked on with me during our therapy sessions. luckily there’s a balance beam at primrose hill which i try to go to a couple of times a week. it’s still difficult for me to walk heel-toe-heel-toe which is called tandem walking by my doctors here in london, but i work on it there on the balance beam. hubby watches me occasionally and he says i have DEFINITELY improved. 
i think it’s easier for me since i no longer just fall off so quickly. i can stay on longer and can actually walk sideways, meaning my feet are 90 degrees to the beam, all the way across. it’s still difficult for me to walk normally on the balance beam. it’s good practice for me. 
i just have to keep up my therapies by myself!
more later!
