Bone Marrow Day

Here's Trish in her cute get up, ready for her bone marrow aspiration!


Trish woke up with a small headache that seemed to last throughout the day. Hopefully her body will get use to the spinal injections and she won’t get any more. The bone marrow aspiration went well. The Doctor who performed the procedure was very nice. After the procedure we headed to the condo and rested for the afternoon. We added a couple more shots of the view from our place. It’s relaxing to look out over the water.





Here is the start of the boardwalk that runs along the bay.



We decided to head out just before the sun went down and took a walk along the long boardwalk that runs in front of the condo along the ocean. It was really nice and the views of the city were amazing. It was also cool to see the boats lined up waiting to pass through the Panama Canal.

It's a little hard to see, but if you look close you can see the ships lined up in the distance.






After our walk we headed across the street to the Hard Rock Cafe. We had a nice dinner and saw a popular singer from Columbia while we were there. Of course neither of us had ever heard of him, but it was fun to see the restaurant abuzz with excitement.





Tomorrow looks to be a fairly easy day with physical therapy in the morning and an IV in the afternoon. We hope to get the chance to go out with Dr. Ugalde to dinner tomorrow night. He is the Dr. that Trish mostly communicated with before we came to Panama. He is very nice and came by to see Trish at her appointment at the clinic yesterday. He mainly works in the lab and research part of the clinic. He’s in charge of the spinal cord injury patients. We are excited to get the chance to get to talk with him more.

Thanks for all the well wishes!
