Hello my dearest Anne... We are home, we are rested and we have tons and tons of great news to share..and we have a few more questions for YOU specifically regarding some German things!! Okay?

Anne... Dr. Korell and the Intergel are fantastic...I learned so much on ARD, it was magnificent, the time this man took to talk with me, to make arrangemnts for future IAS or ARD patients from North America...so many wonderful things..and Anne...a second look surgery is imparative in all cases of ARd adhesiolysis..a number of very painfully attached adhesions reattached within two days..very dense vascular adhesions...and had Mary NOT had that second look ..I shudder to think of what would have happened!! Ebven though Mary had discussed the issue of steroids ( after talikng to you ) it was determined that they would NOT start her on anything due to her allergic reactions to things so as not to hold up the surgery that was already scheduled..but you were right on the mark there..and we will bring that issue up to the society as well!!! Lots of issues to bring up to everyone from this trip...and all very important too!

We will have information out on all this to the society once we get our heads together and figure out everything we need to say..and I plan on discussing second looks with reich and Redan as well!!

Mary and I had a good time while in Germany, we were treated so very well, and by so many we were treated like Queens...it seemed that everyone and anyone who even spoke the slightest English wanted to meet us and talk to us...it was great!! And what beautiful country...Germany as well as the Nertherlands! I loved the trains....great!! We still do not know any more german then when we left..but we were able to communicate most of ther times...with a book and our translation calculators...( what a pain they were though!! ) Food was different..we never did aquire a taste for German food!! And towards the end of our visit..we could have killed for ice cubes and eggs!!!!!!!!!!!! AND....NO ONE TOLD US THEY SWAM TOPLESS at the Netherland beaches!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( bev and mary laughing here!! )

Gotta run as Paul Lewis is on phone and I want to speak to him personally..

Love you Anne.. Bev

Soooo...thats all for now..
