![]() Diane and I are back at the hotel. There is a cool breeze blowing across the balcony and the setting sun has the golden statue in the stadtplatz glowing so beautifully. They took such great care at Saint Elisabeth, but it's great to be here. They now have adjustable beds in all the rooms at the Theresientor. Diane is out getting some groceries. I'm sneaking in a few minutes to get my films up.

![]() Mark,
You and Diane look really good and you look even straighter/taller which I guess is because you have to hold your neck sort of rigid/the collar and such. Beautiful background setting which I hope one day I might get to see first hand. The films look good too~ much better than before the surgery! Looking forward to hearing/reading more whenever you're able to post at that length (future). How're the symptoms? take care~ |

![]() Hey Mark,
Is it wrong to be jealous of you? Not only did you out-do me getting out a day earlier, but got the new and improved Pro-Disc-C-Nova and now the adjustable beds! Sounds like a bit of favoritism to me, ![]() (Any chance of you posting the pre-op xrays for a fellow medical info fan?) Get some rest and enjoy the food! Jen |

![]() I would suspect that there are others who are jealous too. I certainly am. I want so badly to have surgery to look forward to, hoping to get my life back, but no plan yet. Just waiting for surgeons to call and discuss it with me.
But I am very glad that you were able to get your surgery done so quickly. You really needed to have it done, whereas I can get along okay for the time being. Please do take it easy though Mark. You don't want to mess up the wonderful job that Dr. B. did. Did the pizza go down all right? I can't imagine being up for eating pizza so soon after surgery. I am amazed that you did. You look great though, and I hope that is a reflection on how you are feeling. Thanks so much for keeping us informed on your progress. I hope it continues to go extremely well. Enjoy Germany, and what looks like beautiful weather.
