Fort Lauderdale, Florida, so you're back on home dirt safe and sound, well, maybe sound.
It sounds like you and Pura once again traveled all over the place, four countries and six states in under three months, youth sure does have its benefits.
Cold showers, no need to convince me. It's tough stepping into a cold shower especially without notice and when your head isn't ready for it.
For as long as I can remember I have finished off every shower with the hot water turned completely off. Let the water run for a minute or two, step out and I'm like a new man.
My kids tell me that's why we had three boys, cold water is good for the male sperm cells, go figure. Hey, if you're looking to have a kid and you want a boy, stay out of hot tubs. 
Fort Lauderdale, Florida looks like it avoided the brunt of the storm.
Good luck with your future plans.
We hope Pura is doing well and let her know that we had the turkey meatballs from the recipe book, about an hour ago. I think Robin has made them at least 6 times.
I read some of the comments and yes, I'M Nordic, both Norwegian, Swedish from my dad's side.
Peace my friend.
You just made her day. Nice to see her eyes light up like that before 9am. Gonna be a good day. That's not an exaggeration. Her eyes lit up, voice raised a few octaves, totally delighted. Very cool, Mr and Mrs Jurg.
Thank you
It's just me and you here, right? My man, between my leg and back and her pancreas and digestive system, we could hardly keep up anymore. Something had to give. I haven't shared the part about Budapest yet where my knee went out. Hobbled back to the stay by taxi and Pura's shoulder as a crutch. Leg elevated on ice while she took back off IN Budapest in search of a cane. Blonde.. tattoos.. American.. in Hungary.. in search of a cane! She was gone about 3 hours, took like five different spots to finally find one all while translating with her app and electric scooter navigation. Dude I've been walking with it ever since. Not a single UK physician would see me. I even went to private, cash-only one, wouldn't even X-Ray me because of my temp visa. Need some quality US medical attention—stat!
And that's only half of it. Pura never did get an MRI. 6 months and all they did was waste our time with various GP's and annoying phone calls with imaging appointments being rescheduled, one after the other.
Don't know what you got til it's gone.
There's a little aftermath here, you see it in the streets occasionally—palm tree branches and taped off drainage but apparently Ft. Lauderdale avoided the brunt of it.
Being able to add some delight to Pura's day makes me smile. You may want to let her know that every time Robin makes the Turkey balls, I end up overeating, roll around on the floor and end up in a food coma. By the next morning when everything has made its way out of my stomach, I look to see if I have left any for a snack, which is usually not the case.
While we are on the topic of food made using the recipes from your book, I keep reminding Robin to do a post on what she has made. She is a little concerned with doing so because Pura's name is on the cover. I told her it's probably not a big deal and that we could simply cover it or do a little something over her name.
Real bummer about your leg and the entire situation with not being able to get the care you both need. I would have gotten very nervous after about an hour with Pura being out on her own for so long 3 hours must have felt like eternity.
I know this reply is late and hopefully by now you both have been able to see the doctors you need. It has to feel good to be back in the states after such an experience.
Have a good day my friend.
Yes, we're progressing nicely, thank you.
You ain't kidding. Those three hours felt like a whole day.
Oh man, I don't know where to begin. You tell her we said please do. If letting her name getting out was an issue, she wouldn't be working on a second cookbook as I write this. We'd love to hear about her creations making their way to Robin's kitchen. If we collect any stalkers, I'll send'em to your place. 👊🏼
The positivity we've received regarding that book really makes us think we're doing something right.
Much love Jurg's. Thank you.
PS - I hear you've forgotten how to practice patience during this rehabilitation process. Mhmm.. ducks outta the way of a left cross.
I'm not sure what happened to my reply to your reply which I thought I sent days ago. After replying to your reply or did I make a comment to your comment, who knows, I mentioned to Robin what you had replied/commented about letting Pura's name get out, not being an issue. When I told her you would be sending any stalkers our way we both had a chuckle, me for the second time.
Good luck with 2nd cookbook, I'm sure that it will turn out as splendid as the 1st.
After undergoing 3 joint replacements in less than a year, my patience has run the f--k out.
Hopefully, your knee is doing better.
Okay, I'm now going to push the reply button, that must have been the issue the first go around. I know, excuses, excuses.
