Another Update

Today, even though i was told last week that it might take 2 weeks to hear from the hospital reagrding my x-rays and scans i thought i would give them a call just to see if any progress had been made and if they could give me an update. After speaking to the receptionist at the radiology department and saying the doctor had sent my x-rays and scans to the hospital, she told me that radiologists don't give reports on foreign x-rays and scans. So i asked her if they had received them and she said they had. So of course my next question was when were they planning on telling me that they don't give reports on foreign x-rays. When i asked her this she put me on hold for a short while. She came back on and said taking into consideration my age, the radiologists will do a report on my x-rays and scans because otherwise i would then have to make appointments for new x-rays. I have been told that they will report back to my doctor by the end of this week, which is in a way good because that is still within the original 2 weeks that the doctor told me to expect to wait.

I would just like to say another big THANKS to all of you for your coninued support and remembering to lift me up during this time. I will continue to keep you posted both on my blog here and by sending out emails.

Cheers

Work

Once the doctors told me that i could have to wait a possible 2 weeks just to hear back from the hospital hear i was wondering what i would do with all the time i am going to have here. I had decided i would spend a lot of time reading and also try and continue studying Chinese, if not speaking then i would concentrate on my characters, but that was going to take all day every day as i wouldn't be able to do it for that long.

Before i had too much time to think about it, i had a phone call that evening asking if i wanted some work to do while i was here and maybe earn a little money. I thought this would be a great idea because firstly i need to pay off my flights that got me back here, then i would at some point need to pay for flights back to China and then, it is something to do and keeps me out of trouble. I will then also be able to save money to help support myself when i get back to China.

I am working for Friends and Heroes which is a childrens educational TV Show which will be on CBBC in March, be sure to check out the links on the left hand side which take you to the websites and if you have questions find the contacts page and send them an email.

I will continue to keep you all posted as to what is happening and when etc as and when i hear anything new.

Take Care

Isle of Man

As i am now back on the Isle of Man, i have been very lucky to be able to see my niece - Tabitha Wisdom Dolman a lot sooner than i thought i would. I wasn't expecting to see her or my older brother Mat and Jenna until July when they also head to China to learn Chinese. Feel free to check out there blog www.thedolmans.blogspot.com

I have also been greatly blessed to have my mum on the Isle of Man, she was due to head back to Canada the day I arrived back in the UK so she decided she would stay and be with me during this time.

I have also seen Dad at work during this time as we have been provided with a place to stay and also a vehicle to be able to get around.

Update

Well, here it is at last, as many people have been saying to me, i need to get a blog, so here it is now. I am going to do my best to keep it updated both while i am back here in the UK and also once i return to China. Yes thats right, i am back in the UK at the moment, well the Isle of Man actually. I have been having problems with my right leg/hip since October last year and so 2 weeks ago now i went to the hospital in China and they took x-rays and MRI Scans. After talking indirectly with doctors in the UK i was advised that i need to get back as soon as possible and have an autopsy and then any resulting surgery.

I went to the doctors on Monday just gone and i was told they would send my x-rays and scans to the hospital here and i should hear from them within 2 weeks, it has almost been a week now and so i guess i still have a little over one week to go.

I am just hoping that during this time that Dad will show and teach me new things and that i will maybe be able to use this time to draw closer to Him and seek His will for my life.
