Mark,
If Lorna had been in the US, what would her options have been? It's wonderful to hear that she had the type of attention and care that afford her the best possible option to avoid a more invasive surgery.
Best wishes to her with her continued progressive recovery and look forward to updates if and whenever possible!

Re the SAS blog~ looking forward to more when you've time.. was reading in the Sun.LA Times about property prices in Berlin and how it's the in place to be/live now (and hopefully a job market will be happening one day).
