Dear MaryLou, Sorry for three emails, but I just noticed you were worried
about other things while traveling. It did cross my mind that maybe I'd
be the victim of terrorists, but I was dying so there was little choice.
The security at Frankfurt Airport makes our security look like playschool.
So I wouldn't worry about that. No smallpox or anthrax either. Those things
are statistically so small and even though you've had the misfortune to be
medically ill, that doesn't mean that any other bad things will happen to you.
There have been three Americans, thousands of Europeans, and in January four
more Americans to go to Dr. Kruschinski. Hope you find some relief soon. Love,
Sally
