The doctor and Jon have just been. I told them that I had warm feet and no pain. The doctor felt my legs and said that no, they felt cold to touch still. Believe it or not, this is great news - I have cold feet and do NOT FEEL PAIN. Very interesting.
OK, friends from my MS Exercise Class at Lidcombe. Settle down and let’s see the long term outcomes. You know that things change as often as the direction of the wind.

I did write my blog for yesterday but just as I pressed the publish button the server crashed and we lost it………. and I didnt want to do it again, so didnt ! ! !
Wednesday’s scheduled 3rd stem cell treatment was postponed due to a problem with production. It is re-scheduled for this afternoon. So fingers crossed we can get on with it today. This was really disappointing, but it’s important for us to get the “good stuff”.
So in between the stem cell injections I’m still spending 2 hrs each day in the Rehab Dept with Shung Way. Each day he diligently coaxes my legs to relax and bend a little bit more than the day before. Then we have the hilarious time with the acupuncture needles as my legs and feet bounce about with the treatment…. no pain - just reaction. I do believe that things are improving somwehat because this morning in bed I was able to flex my ankles a couple of mm and move my legs just a very little bit. GOOD ON YOU, SHUNG WAY. Shung Way speaks a little English. I have discovered that he is 23 and has a 20 year old brother who goes to school. He is not from Shenzhen and his family live elsewhere.
Our time every afteroon in the Rehab Dept has become the social event of the day as we “foreigners” get more familiar with the regular patients coming in for daily treatments. We have started communicating and discussing culture, which is very funny as we dont understand anything we say to each other. Yesterday in the Acupuncture Room, Bill was teaching young Elizabeth how to ballroom dance. They had quite an audience. Bill is close to 80 and the husband of Babs who is here for treatment for Ataxia. They are from Brisbane. Elizabeth is one of the three capable, English-speaking young Chinese woman who help to manage our lives up here on 19th Floor.
This moring I woke with no headache and not feeling tired like I have for the last few days, so things are good. My feet are warmish so no pain there. We are having a fantastic time here.
