Day 13 at the hospital-3rd stem cell treatment/2nd via spinal injection

Pansy will receive a spinal injection today ( 9-8 ) around 2PM and also receive a spinal injection on Friday. She will attend physical therapy M-T-W-T-F and receive acupuncture and electric wave therapy Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Again she has to lay flat on her back for 6 hours without food or water--some way this prevents her from having a severe headache after the spinal. Last week 24-36 hours after her spinal injection she had severe pain in her hips and thighs--in fact the gentleman next door to her who has SCA-1 also had the same type of pain. A 55 year gentleman who has spinal cerebellar ataxia arrived yesterday from Tampa.
