DAY 31 LAST DAY Oct 17

Didn't sleep much last night, as Jon predicted, with my stem cell IV. He also predicted my shoulder pain would diminish, which it has, but I'll still have it checked out by a doctor in Tucson.

Went to lunch at a swank dimsum restaurant with Grace. Filled us up with all manner of stuffed Catonese dumplings; $10. Talked with her at length, and found out much about her, Jon, Beike Labs, China...very informative.

We leave here at about 10AM tomorrow. Most stuff is packed & ready. Sad to miss the nurses, staff, other patients and China, but glad to be getting home after a month. I'll probably be back sometime, but further north, at a new hospital in Qingdao.

Gave out our card packs. One went to Dr. Leung who said the new stem cells will continue to reproduce and mature for 3 months or so, so keep working them, and don't just sit around.
