Today, before treatment, Dr. Sibia donned his video camera and he shot video showing the setup procedure for the Cytotron, including showing Jake being placed in the machine and the laser calibration of the positioning of his head. Pretty cool. Dr. Sibia will be adding a narration and I will be posting it on the internet within the next few days. Jake said that in the area where the headache has been he has started to feel "Fizzing" and that then during the treatment again he felt some pops. Again, who knows but something appears to be going on.
I am starting to feel a little more at home now in the hotel. Jake still sleeps most of the time, but I am now caught up with sleep and can work on by brothers program a lot of the day. I still have had untold amounts of power failures but my battery should be here in about 2 days. I had brought along a mess O Dvds to watch that I have been meaning to watch for many years and discovered that the hotel did not have a dvd player and with trying to work and the problems of the power failures, using the computer just was not working. So I went into town and managed to find a cheap multistandard dvd player. The problem was that it is encoded for India and would not play US Dvds. I was bummed so I was forced to turn once again into Captain Video. I looked on the internet and found the hack code to get into the firmware of the Dvd player and hacked it to region 0 which means it will now play in all countries. I also was able to find my favorite movie "Ishtar" (Thats right, Ishtar GIVE IT A CHANCE!) here in the middle east. So now I can play that when I get home. The lesson here, never, never, never give up. To quote James T. Kirk, "I dont like a no win scenario". So now, I feel more at home because I can watch some movies from home while laying on the bed with Jake. Also this afternoon, I went out with Mr. Anil Pandy to the market in search of American food. I was successful in finding some american chocolate although not dark chocolate my favorite, chocolate none the less. Then we stopped by a cheap shoe store and I got some tennis shoes. I will now have to figure out a new reason not to work out in the health club that is part of the hotel and free. We found the movie theatre here and it is all India movies so we may brave one when Jake is feeling better.
That is all because in a few moments it will be BUFFET TIME! In closing for those of you who want to know the best part of the trip. It is definitely the laundry. They do all my laundry and even iron my socks. They put the shirts in plastic sleaves. It is beautiful.
