Day 4 at the hospital

The food from the catering service is mostly rice with side dishes of sweet and sour chicken, spare ribs with vegetables. Lucy (our translator) traveled with us to the market about 1 mile away. Most all items in the store are written in chinese–so you have to look at the pictures on the package. Dr. Bing compared the pulse in the left and right feet–the pulse in the left foot was not near a strong as the pulse in the right foot–you recall the nail on the big toe on the left foot comes off on occasion for no apparent reason. Pansy will receive embryonic stem cell IV treatment on Friday afternoon around 2PM. There 2 men here with ataxia–70 year man from Queensland has sca6-he will receive 6 treatments–he has shown improvement according to his wife–46 year old man from Belfast has had ataxia for ten years–he has received 2 treatments.
