Time for an update!

Hello Again!

It is Wednesday just before noon as I write this, laying down, having just had my third caudal stem-cell injection/procedure.  As with each procedure and every stem-cell dose, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for the fact that I am here, on the other side of the world getting this amazing treatment, and also for what this will mean for the rest of my life as I become able to function more, take on adult responsibilities, and live life!

At the direction of Dr. Geeta, I have joined a local gym with the intention of working with some weights in order that I “change my body type” and develop muscle.  While I feel a bit out of place in the weight section of the gym, I am eager to comply with every aspect of my treatment plan, and to do all in my power to make this trip the most effective.  With a busy morning schedule and given that my longest break before evening is between noon and 2pm (physio is at 11am and 2pm) and coincides with lunch (usually arrives around 1pm), I plan to make time for the gym in the evenings – maybe every other day or so.

I will upload some pictures later in the day.

Best,

Ari

  1. A very busy schedule these days Ari:) The gym will be something different and might just be enjoyable. Those stem cells want every opportunity. You are such a good patient of Dr. Geeta Schroff’s:)
    Hugs, Love and Prayers for you,
