The cement futons lived up to their name and the ambulances pulled up all night. Needless to say there was very little sleep all round. We made friends with Ann and Dennis (from New Zealand) this morning and Ann and I braved the LotteMart. It was huge. We were the freaky foreigners that everyone wanted to come and look at and giggle with their friends (especially if we greeted them with 'nihao'). But it was fun. Everything was so cheap (except the milk at $6 a litre) and I managed to collect everything on mum's comprehensive list including extra padding for her mattress. You can buy ANYTHING at Lottemart from weight benches to live fish for dinner.
Mum underwent a series of tests for the remainder of the day. She was prodded and poked and x-rayed from top to bottom. They were very thorough. The translators make sure we understand everything. The doctors have given mum her therapy schedule (which will consist of physical therapy, acupuncture and electric therapy daily )and her stem cell treatment schedule which starts tomorrow! We can't wait.
