HERE'S MY MS NEWS CHANNEL STEM CELL DIARY #5

I've written 6 Columns on MSnewsChannel.com

In my last Column, I was talking about how life had thrown out a curveball and my new Stem Cells had been severely tested.  So I really needed this next round of Stem Cells, boy did I ever.  My new appointment for Stem Cell Treatment 3 was scheduled for December 5, 2011. I decided to go for the 2 week treatment by myself. 

I arranged to have my driver take me directly to my favorite grocery store, El Rey (the King) straight from the airport.  I like to cook in my condo instead of going out for meals.  It is also shocking how those meals out can add up to mucho dinero.  Don’t get me wrong, I love to go out, but this was not a vaca and was already costing me plenty.  But, hey, THIS IS MY LIFE and I want to LIVE it!  I still planned to have a few meals with other patients.

So, because this was my 3rd treatment, I would have to have another mini lipo this time to extract a small amount of fat….under a pound (dangit).  Pretty much what happens is that one lipo will usually give enough Adipose Fat Stem Cells for 2 treatments.  It doesn’t happen every time, but almost.  On Monday, the 5th I had my blood draw, for testing and for the plasma that my Stem Cells would be delivered in.  On Tuesday, I had the lipo and on Wednesday, I was immediately going to physical therapy!  Here is a little video I made on Wednesday morning.  Out of it much?  Maybe just a little..haha.
