It looks like I'm going to have to put off my research on the Baltic island of Usedom until September, which is ok, because by then, most of the tourists will be back to work. The hand is doing great, doctor Von Glinski was surprised by both the strength and dexterity. It still has a long way to go, but I'm a tough old bird. The CT scan (CAT scan in American) showed a coupled of banged up discs in the lower back, which is not unusual for somebody who's banged canoes off of rocks, shoulders off of trees, and skied through strip mines for most of his adult life. No injections, operations, or anything else intrusive. Just 10 more sessions of back training and massage. The guy I've been working with is good, so I'm cool with it.
Glinski, however, has advised me to buy a bicycle, as did Dr. Eckhorst, and my friend Klaus, who's a retired MD. Glinski's been to Usedom and says it's a great place for biking. I like the idea, I'll be able to cover a lot more ground in my explorations. It's 28 km from Usedom (the town) to the Polish border, along the Via Baltica, which is one of the Northern routes of the St. James Way (Jakobsweg), which fits another dimension of my research and gives the Yellow House a subplot of interesting and mystical proportions!
