10/19
I think jetlag has hit. Yesterday, I ordered a pizza for dinner and lay down to read. The nurse woke me at 5, I thought it was morning,and why did I sleep with my clothes on? Last night, I stayed up ’til 2 talking on Skype, woke up late and had my kids vey peeved with me for not answering their calls. Maybe I’ll adjust by the time I leave…
After several days of doing nothing, finally get started tomorrow. Acupuncture at 8:30, electric wave therapy at 9, physical terrorist 9:30-10:15. And…1st stem cell injection in the afternoon! It’s only IV so it should be cake. 1st spinal is Friday.
I’m starting to notice more subtle differences between here and home (US). Went downstairs for X-ray and they had the lights out in the corridors. No hot water between 10 pm and 8am. And some not so subtle ones. Everyone is in a hurry, but they’re extremely polite. Even the taxi drivers are nice, they honk their horns, but it’s not in anger, like a NY cabby. All the people I’ve run across, from Drs. to cleaning ladies are nice. I must say, it takes getting used to.
Just had my temp taken for 4th time today. It lends a whole new meaning to “stick it in your ear”…
