Yet again I had a very restless night but this was due to the outside temperature which as risen to 25 degrees and had made it very uncomfortable. I was woken at 4.00 am by the nurse to check that I was okay, which I could have done without and I again watched the clock go around before arising at 7.00am with no ill effects after my first stem cell injection. We then had a coffee before attending rehab with muscle massage, acupuncture and a session on the inversion table. I have just returned from shopping with Lynn and Richard today which has been by far the best and warmest day. During my sleep last evening I dreamt that I was able to write, a function that I'd lost some considerable months ago. I forgot about the dream until later this morning and whilst on my own started to write a few sentences with fluency and clarity I hope this function remains with me as it is the first real sign of function return. Whilst I am overjoyed I must still remain realistic and not build my hopes up too much. Later this afternoon I had terrible migraine and had to return to bed for the rest of the day.

I awoke on Sunday morning as usual but we don't need to get up early as this morning as this was the Chinese day of rest. Soon after taking a shower I developed another severe migraine and returned to bed once more> I arose at 1.30pm and decided to put together my blog as I was feeling a whole lot better before going out for some fresh air and undertaking some further exploring, we were pleasantly surprised to be stopped by a Chinese business man called Daniel who stopped and chatted for some twenty minutes about his business ventures in England and later was welcomed to China by a Chinese lady we returned to the hospital to continue with my blog.
