Thanks for all the well-wishes. Diane's 5 days out from ESI and is much improved. A few days ago it was much improved but she was realizing that even with the improvement, she'd be accepting living at a very low functioning level. Now with a few more days and more improvement, she's doing much better.

We don't know how functional she'll be... we don't know if she'll be living on eggshells like a 'disaster waiting to happen'.... fearing the next sneeze, trip or lift. Will she be able to work? All unknown, but I guess that now, things are as good as we could have hoped for at this early stage.

I'm here in Straubing... trip is going well. It's beautiful here if you are in the shade and there is a breeze. (Or if you are in your nice air-conditioned hotel room... well not beautiful, but at least cool.)

Talk to y'all soon...

Mark
