Happy Birthday Sarah-Jane
January 22nd, 2007
Today is my eldest nieces’ birthday. Seven years old, I wish I was there with you. I hope you are having a wonderful day with my Jack and Harry.
Stem cell day today, my last spinal injection. There are 4 patients having stem cells today. George & I decided we would go first. Then we had to play scissors, paper, rock to see who would go first out of us two and warm up the doctor. I won, (I think) I go first anyway. Between George and I, we will have this hospital running ship, shape before we leave. George and Melissa do not go back to Canada until the 2/2/07. They have threatened to steal our passports so we don’t leave until they do but there isn’t anything that would keep us from catching the plane on Saturday. 5 sleeps left in China.
Therapy today was a bit of a disaster. The muscles in the calves of my legs are really tired and sore and my feet are still aching from all the walking. I think you have to find a happy medium between not doing to much on the days where you don’t have any therapy and making sure you don’t go stir crazy in the hospital with nothing to do. We had a fantastic day yesterday, I laughed all day at George and Garry, Sunny and Jilly’s organisation for a bus load of patients who don’t speak chinese was outstanding but I’m paying for it today with ‘muscle sore’ as my therapist says.
The pictures below show some of the important balancing exercises I have been doing and The Beautiful King and Queen of China.
Garry looks very comfortable with his arms around another woman.

Garry I must say you look stunning sounds like it was a great day I’m glad you can get out occassionally & enjoy yourselves. we can’t wait to see you i think the boys are starting to miss their parents & their home but not long now. Rach you are really going to need a holiday & some pampering after this. I’ll talk to you when your home & work out when I can come over but you know I do try but am pretty useless in the pampering department. Garry I hope your dad is ok. love ya & see you soon!
