Rehabilitating Mom

So, the Berlin mom made it to the rehab center, specialized, as it turns out, on post-treatment for oncology patients, and is doing fine. It also turned out the whole thing was her own idea, though with some mysterious caveat that it's what everyone says you have to do. Anyhow, they're massaging her swollen feet, not bothering her unduly, she's going for walks, refusing any and everything she's never done before, and went on a short bike ride around the gigantic estate with us on Sunday when we visited, ate lunch there and played some cards in the afternoon with her. Of course she's counting the days until she can go home, the day before her birthday. Then comes that event and at the end of the month Lea's first day of school, a true German ceremony and total family celebration.
And here's a link to the beautiful facility Edith decided to spend three weeks in.
