After a quick visit to see the flowers above Verbier and a day on Lake Maggiore, Melissa and I dropped in to see Paul and Penny at Feldkirch. I hadn't seen Paul for a few weeks and his recovery is nothing less than a miracle and, although he is still very frail, he is lucid. I had warned Melissa not to expect too much, but what we found was the old Paul, quite battered, but back with us after just over four months. His recovery at Feldkirch is due, in no particular order, to the skill of the doctors and nurses, the dedication and love of Penny, the support of many friends and relatives, and the power of Prayer. On Thursday evening Penny, Melissa, Charles McGregor and I went out to celebrate Paul's recovery with a few bottles of local wine. We all, fortunately, made it back to the hotel in one piece. The next day we all went to visit a specialist clinic on Lake Constance in Germany. This is only an hour from the doctors at Feldkirch and has views over the lake, a lovely place to visit or stay. Here Paul will continue his recovery and regain strength over the next eight weeks so that he can return to the UK hopefully in good enough condition to be able to return to Mull. Charles has put a lot of work into ensuring that this next move is the right one for Paul. We also spent some time looking for a suitable hotel for Penny as she will have to move from the friendly Hotel Alpenrose. This will not be that easy.
