EPILOGUE 4

Well. three months now since the last stem cells. Balance is a little better. Hands slowly improving. Feet seem static, but better than they were. My gait is better -a narrower much more normal, longer stride, as I can balance a little longer on one foot. Might try to get out and walk around the neighborhood. It's been three years since I did that.

Shoulder is pretty well healed, after three months! Fell and wrenched a knee on Christmas Day, and that took about two weeks before I could walk or put weight on it.

Still terribly skinny, but putting on a pound a week. It'll add up.

The big news is George, (georgearruda.blogpot.com) a person on our MJD Yahoo group who's in China now with his wife Melissa. He's having six injections, and is getting out a lot more than I did. I'm jealous. As I've said, I want to try again in a year. Sally got me a Chinese language CD course for Xmas. Also Rachel from Australia with some sort of ataxia-her blog is www.stemcellschina.com/blogs/Rachel

I've got another recxruit from right here in Tucson, going over soon, she has MS.

All for now. I'll check in next month.
