I just spoke to
Cheryl. She's staying at the Roemerhof and she just told me about how Eckhart and his staff are being so very kind to her and Jean. I'll leave it to her to tell about that, but I want to use this opportunity to kick-off the Roemerhof thread.

Information for Pro-Spine patients from the Roemerhof
The first 2 pictures (below) are from my first client trip to Straubing and Bogen. In January 2005, Chuck and Mark had surgery at St. Elisabeth in Straubing, while
Laura had surgery in Bogen. (Imagine me taking care of 3 people, with one in the hotel, and 2 clients in 2 different hospitals!) Eckhard's support is amazing. He would make special trips to the market to make sure that he had their favorite fruits or melons for breakfast. His wife works at the library and offered to bring DVD's for us to watch. In the years I've known him (now more than 4), I've watched him go so far out of his way to help the patients. Eckhard is a treasure and I can't say enough wonderful things about him.
Looking the other way... I love the sky in this photo.
December 2005: Mark's wife,
Diane, Valerie (another patient's wife), Anita (former Pro-Spine coordinator), Eckhard (Roemerhof owner),
Mark,
Bradley (the most amazing cervical story... see his own surgery website linked on the GPN story page), Donna (Bradley's wife) & Margaret
(Steve's wife).
Eckhard's restaurant is wonderful. We expecially like the Zander... a local fresh water pike. I'll never pass up an Eiskaffee (unless it's late in the day... it'll keep me awake.)
