Day 2.

Another day of tests at a different hospital.  Today Don had a brain MRI, an MRI of the whole Spine, ECG, ECCO and an ultra sound of his whole abdomen.    Probably all tests that should have been done at home and never were.
He also was just injected with a small sample of the embryonic stem cells in his arm to see if there will be any reactions.  His first dose will be on Monday if the sample works well.

Again, hes absolutely exhausted.  They have canceled his physical therapy for today so he can rest.  Its only noon but I think the rest of the afternoon will be quiet.

We got laughing so hard at the hospital today. They took him first to one room for the ultrasound where they removed his socks and shoes.  Then they took him to a 2nd room for the rest of the x-rays.  When they were done, they called me in to help him dress. We had to find his shoes and socks from the first room. But instead of having me put them on, they wheeled him outside the door to our taxi, which is basically right on the street. There I am squatting down, putting on his socks and shoes, everybody crouching around watching. I got laughing so hard at the site we probably made.  So different.  The whole time I was waiting for Don, people just kept coming in and out of this hospital, most of them would just use the bathroom and leave again.  Strange.

Thats probably all for today. But? One never knows here. We had a doctor visit after 9 last night just to introduce himself.  In he came in his jeans and Adidas sweatshirt. He looked like he was 20. Whatever works.
