We Made it to Germany - Surgery is Monday the 18th

Our flights were uneventful. We were greeted in Munich by Peter Hoch the cab driver for all of Dr B's patients. He is fabulous and knows exactly how to treat a patient. We drove on the autobahn at 100MPH. He took us through Straubing which is an adorable European town center with cafes and shops. We are at the Hotel near the hospital now. The staff is great. The last patient left an extra shot that she had for the next patient - we are a bit concerned about needing that and of course will take it to Dr. B.

We are going to stay awake the rest of today and get to bed early. We are going to head into town now.

I head to the hospital on Sunday morning and surgery is on Monday at noon here which is six hours ahead.

We are doing great so far. I'll try to get some pics up soon.

Hi, Cheryl.
Good luck with your surgery. I'm sure it will go well and you'll have many, many years without pain. As my mom (Grammy) used to say, "I'll have a good thought for you!"
Take care,
Larry, Jean, and family
