EPILOGUE TWO Nov. 2

Had a crew from the local news interview me yesterday, and appeared on the local news at 10PM. Didn't go half-bad, though I looked like as zombie, non-blinking (a symptom) and talking slowly. Talked about me, Michael J. Fox, Rush Limbaugh...

Forgot to mention that the price for the stem-cell treatment in China includes a caretaker (usually a spouse, parent, nurse, etc,) Only Hal came by himself, and was there for 8 injections (2 mo.) in a wheelchair, but he's fiercely independent.

Food is up to you, which is a break from the normally depressing hospital food. Some folks bring their own hot plate and cook meals in their rooms.

Not much in the way of changes, left hand seems to be getting incrementally better. Feet and shins still cold at night. Talking IS clearer, as confirmed by my barber, and the news interview.
Doing the exercise bike, and walking & turning down the hallway.

I go in for an MRI of my shoulder tomorrow. Dr. suspects a torn rotator cuff. It's been a month since the fall in China. Jet lag is gone, finally.
