Just a quick hi to everyone, to let you all know that things are going well here. I really like my doctor and everyone in the clinic, and we're all over our jet lag (still haven't gotten used to German keyboards though!). Gonna tour the cathedral tomorrow, I think, and we're going to Amsterdam over the weekend.

Thanks for all your good wishes! I don't have enough time to return every pm and email, but I thank you for all of them, they mean a lot to me :)

    ...so you are finally here in the Kraut's land.

    oh do I hope and wish that you find what you need and look for.

    and hey hey, tellme if the Germans do not treat you fine,
    then I go out and yell at them all !!!

    and p.s. now I am really pissed that I can't make it up there,
    from down south here,
    but even so I want you to be fine, I also hope there might be another chance to hug you one fine day...

    take care and enjoy
    especially beautiful Holland!

    lots of love is sent your way,
    just 500 km up up up,
    so close and still far away. :(
    there is no way to peace, peace is the way!

    i just got off the phone with Laura a while ago. she sounded great. and in a really good and positive spirit. which makes me happy. she talked a lot about her fun plans over the next few days when she is not at the clinic. cathedral, amsterdam, some kind of boat tour, etc.

    she also mentioned that she will have some time on friday morning to hit the internet again. so leave your thoughts for her here. :)

    huggies Laura.

    P.S. Go Tribe!
    I miss you hippiemom.

    hope everything goes well for you.

    Great news! Thanks for the update.

    Her absence from the boards is palpable. She is always a measured voice of reason. I'm looking forward to seeing her post on Monday.

    I am now drinking a toast to her health and sending positive thoughts her way.

    dear hippimom,

    there is not one day during which I am not thinking and wishing about/for you.
    Ohh do I hope that you have a good time here.
    and for the weekend: so how is Holland? Funny, interesting, stunning,
    all in once?

    Wishing you a wonderful, astonishing Sunday in beautiful Amsterdam
    and all the best.

    and again: so close and still so far away. :(

    lots of love is sent your way

    Hello everyone! Just back in Cologne after a weekend in Amsterdam, which was wonderful. We only had two days, and there's so much to see, so it was a bit frantic, but I had a great time. My leg is doing a bit better, I've even been able to walk around a bit! Which is great, because I really fucking hate that wheelchair!

    Three more days in Cologne, then we fly out on Thursday morning, so I should be back shooting my mouth off full-time by next week :D

    Good luck, hippiemom. I'm hitchhiking through Germany tomorrow so if you're driving around or anything and you see me and a dude with a mohawk give us a ride!

    But like d2d said, get cured.
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!
