I hope that you can access the web and check your messages. I think that you will love Bend...I spend alot of time there. While you are there go to Yoko's and ask to speak with Steve. He is the owner and my cousin. Perhaps he can direct you to places to see and eat. You are probably more likely to reach him at the downtown restaurant...but you never know. Tell him his cousin from Wisconsin sent you his way.
Good luck with your surgery.
