We're in Germany!

On Friday, bright and early, Kim and I headed to Milan and caught a plane to Frankfurt. From there we took a train to the town of Landstuhl which houses a large US and NATO military base and hospital. Our friend, Lynn (in light colored jacket) got a job here and is working as a contract nurse in a new Traumatic Brain Injury program at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. Susan, her partner and recently retired, tagged along for the ride. So, we are having a wonderful reunion, laughing, eating and helping them rearrange their furniture in their very new apartment. We'll be here until Friday and will be lucky enough to visit the base hospital and learn more about what they're doing. This hospital is now the largest military hospital in Europe and many of the injured soldiers come through here to be stabilized before being moved to Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, DC.

It's a very different world here; stay tuned.
