Most important day in stem cells in Mexico
Today I find out what my blood my white blood cell count is. If it is going up to 4,000 I am no longer in the neuropedic stage. Which means I can eat normal food. Because the food they gave me is like space food, it comes and these weird plastic containers and you heat them up with water ,and they taste like sawdust. It also means that I can go out in public as long as I wear a mask. I am so sick of sitting in this apartment ,you wouldn’t believe it. Thought I Loved Netflix, until it was all I had to watch. So last night when I went to bed I mentally thought about my white blood cells dividing and creating more white blood cells, in hopes that I will have enough to go off the neuroPedic diet.It also means that I can get one of the six shots that I need throughout the year to help my bone marrow. Which will help my stem cells to grow faster. Right now my multiple sclerosis is about at Baseline. So that means I can walk with a walker short distances. I am very nervous about today’s meeting and I am really hoping that my white blood cell count has gone up enough. This has been an amazing experience and it is my last chance at really helping my multiple sclerosis to get better. Stem cells should be legal in America for so many illnesses. We need to get away from the pharmaceutical companies. And now that we’re going to have mr. Trump in office it’s only going to get worse. He is not in any way supportive of science I am sure. He is more concerned with business and money. Hillary Clinton should be the president anyway she got more votes. And the only reason that mr. Trump even got elected it is because of Russia. He better be careful or he is going to start another cold war between the people of America and the people of Russia. If he thinks in any way that he is going to bring us together by his business tactics he is wrong. We are stronger and wiser than that. Let us all hope that this doesn’t happen but right now I cannot think about what is going on in the United States of America. For right now I have to worry about myself. So let’s all keep our fingers crossed that today will be a good day and my white blood cell count will be up. I really miss my daughter and my home and my cats. Even though I’m not allowed to touch the cats. I will need a caregiver for a few months, as my white blood cells grow and my multiple sclerosis may actually be worse for a few months. But that is to be expected. I just can’t wait to be in take a shit on my own. Such little things in life we take for granted. I hold my stem cells start to work quickly but it’s different for everyone. I may not see any definitive good results for a year. But some people have seen results as early as 3 weeks to 3 months. It is possible that because of chemo I may go into early menopause. Which I’m truly hoping and praying does not happen. All these things we take for granted. But I know everything is out of my control and it is in the higher Powers control. Let’s just hope that he or she or it likes me. I’ll post my results in the blood maybe today or tomorrow. Wish me luck my Humanity friends!

Okay Christmas alone without my family in Mexico
Christmas alone without family
Blowes. It does it just simply blows. Yes I am here to get stem cells but I will not see any true results for about a year. Until then it is like being on a roller coaster. I have very good days like I did yesterday. And they have extremely bad days where I’m below Baseline like I did today. I miss my daughter I miss my cats I miss my home. I miss my state of New York even though it’s extremely cold there right now. You should be happy it’s 70 some
Degrees here. Where I live it’s snowing and freezing and causes my multiple sclerosis to flare up. But then I’m not happy. It blows. How can you be happy on the holiday this meant for family and friends and presents and a Christmas tree when you have none of those. I do have my husband here as a caregiver. And I have to be grateful for that. And I have to be grateful that this is my last chance at perhaps having a better life. And I have to be grateful that I’m still alive. That I have a home to come home to. That I have a daughter and family to come home to. Well now I just feel like an asshole after writing all of that. But it’s still a very unnerving unsettling feeling. To be happy and yet miserable at the same time. I am usually a very upbeat person. I love Humanity I love everyone and I never show hatred. But I hate being away from my loved ones. But I love the chance to perhaps improve my life and their lives. It is a conundrum. It is a total oxymoron. I do not know how I am supposed to feel. All I know is on the other side of the country it’s not Christmas anymore. So I will pretend I’m there. I will pretend it’s a year from now and I can walk. I will pretend that all of this hell I have lived for the last 18 years will be worth something. I will pretend that I will be a teacher again. And I will go on as I always do with hope in my heart and love for Humanity. 4 is that not all we can do? We just have to Keep On Truckin. So that’s what I will do Keep On Truckin. And not to be cliche but the Grateful Dead suck. I just like the line Keep On Truckin. so do to you on this Christmas Day. May peace and love be with you and guide your heart. And allow yourself to remember that sometimes it just blows.

Stem cells in Mexico on Christmas Eve
Yes that is me wearing my mask to keep me away from contamination. Holding a knife just in case an alien from outer space comes down and I need to dissect him
Stem cells in Mexico for multiple sclerosis Christmas Eve
So you might say I’m getting a little bored. I’ve been quarantined now for about a week. And they have to be quarantined in this damn apartment for another week. The hematologist says everything is going great. But I basically feel exactly the same. The one good thing is I was able to eat with a spoon both today and yesterday. I have not been able to use utensils for a year. Then you say you don’t see signs of improvement for 9 to 10 months. According to everyone else I should have started losing my hair today. But I have not lost any hair yet. It might fall out when I get home or I might be one of the lucky 10% that keeps my hair and the stem cells start helping and growing quickly. I do think this is going to be a miracle for me. I do think this was the best option for me the only option for me. There was nothing left for me to try. Tomorrow is Christmas day and I am missing my daughter like crazy.
We are very close to the equator here in Puebla Mexico
- So there is no heat or air conditioning as we don’t need it here. As you can see from the picture below it is quite cold in New York state and quite snowy. The cold bothers my multiple sclerosis but I want to see my child so badly I don’t care. They have a pyramid here that is bigger than the pyramids in Giza because there is a church on top of the pyramid they are not allowed to dig under the pyramid to see just how tall is. There is also a volcano here that is dormant but it releases out steam constantly. You still live in Hawaii so it is no big deal to me I have seen many volcanoes. I really just want to go home and see if this procedure will work. I have faith that it will. And the doctor seems to think that I’m doing extremely well. Tis the season to be with family and I’m all alone except for my husband who was out and about right now. I am trying not to be depressed as I know this is a miracle. I never thought I would miss New York so much.
