Hi Megan and Tom and anyone else that is following me x

Thanks for asking – yes I had my second stem cells put in today and everything was fine, they bought a portable x-ray machine to my room to x-ray my abdomen to check if I have a blood clot as my ankles and legs are still very swollen – I don't think of myself as a medical person whatsoever…[Read more]

So they did listen after written complaint, I do think they might be dreading us returning. LOL.

May I suggest you take a…[Read more]
