phew! boy am i ready for the weekend. this morning Ulrich’s daughter Anneliese and I got out of bed early and drove together down to Bonn, about 1.5 hrs from where Ulrich & I live and famous for being the birthplace of Beethoven (as well as the former capital of West Germany). Anneliese has an upcoming surgery on monday at the bonn university hospital to fuse together the joints in one of her cheeks, which have slowly eroded and become angular instead of rounded at the edges after years of inflammation from juvenile rheumatism. i think i will have more to say about Anneliese and her illness, but i will save that for another, more cognizant moment when i’m not nodding off to the beat of my fingers typing.
Perfect! Hope the surgery went well!
