2 hours sitting on the runway, in the very last seats which were right next to the constant engine running and didn\u00b4t recline, plus 1.5 flight, plus no wheelchair to meet me when departing, meaning I had to hobble UP a long ramp and down a hall, while my hip and butt cramped and my leg threatened to collapse under me to where the cart was waiting, plus a 2 hour drive through the snow-covered landscape and darkness, plus getting lost in F\u00fcssen because we couldn\u00b4t read the poorly-lit roadsigns and having no access on the mobile phones, and finally finding our way to my brother\u00b4s apartment at 2:00 a.m. only to face a flight and a half of stairs wiped me out completely. What a hellacious day.<\/p>\n
Today, Simone, who is a physical therapist, worked on my foot, iced it and I laid with it elevated for several hours. It feels MUCH better and I\u00b4m hopeful it will be able to bear some weight after tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The whole place is covered with a 2-foot coating of picture-postcard-perfect snow, padding rooftops and hedges, lining sidewalks with short white piled walls. The view from the balcony over the rooftops is of pine- and snow-covered mountains. Everyone, except, uh…me, is going skiing tomorrow. I have books and crossword puzzles and the internet (albeit on a VERY slow dial-up) to keep me occupied. I expect to become very familiar with the interior of John and Simone\u00b4s cozy apartment. Although, in addition to the slowness (AIEEE, the slowness!) of the internet connection, the German laptop has the Z and Y keys switched which means a lot of backtracking and correcting, and I\u00b4ll be known as liyardek during the duration.<\/p>\n
Karin<\/b>: *playing a game with Martin on the living room floor, involving paper, small plastic figures and a rolling stamp pad, gets up to go to the bathroom<\/i>* Can you pause the game, Martin?
\nLiz<\/b>: *laughing<\/i>* He\u00b4s not a computer game, silly!<\/p>\n
PS: Slow dial-up means minimal reading and commenting while I\u00b4m gone, unfortunately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
