I had my 4th treatment last night - 2 more to go. I have organised the last one to be L/Puncture rather than IV. No problems there.
I cant speak for everyone else, but this is the stuff of dreams and miracles for me. Now I'm going to plan a whole new life for when I get home. My new Nikes are getting a work out and I am loving being outdoors again after all this year on my butt in front of my computer or in bed.
I'm going to live again!

Laurinda was going a bit stir crazy with cabin fever, so I encouraged her to round up a few patients and carers last night and head out to the Paradise Club. It was good to see her get dressed up and excited. She must have had a good time because she was the last one home and was locked out of the hospital LOL. Being a resourceful girl, she somehow found a way in and to her bed. She and a few others have organised a couple of cars to take them to the downtown Markets today. Because I had 2 treatments this week, I had to miss a little therapy, so I stayed in today to catch up. A nice rest too, so my stem cells can do their thing, and a quick nip over the road for a few treats before she returns. I have no idea how I'm going to cope without Owens massages each day once I'm home. I may have to bring a Chinese boy back with me! Ok, just enough time to sample a few snacks before electric wave therapy.
Here's a few more photos:
