On the plane!

Chukka's plane took off from Munich at 3:50 p.m. (Munich time) today. The nurses arrived yesterday to evaluate Chukka, and drove her down by ambulance this morning. I verified with her insurance that the "transfer took place without any problems." This is good, as there were a few snags along the way. Our mother is traveling as a passenger on the same flight.

They will arrive in San Francisco this evening. A friend is picking my mother up directly from the airport. Chukka will be taken by ambulance to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, in the East Bay. I will call an hour or two after I estimate she has arrived, by which time she should be assigned to a ward. I expect they won't want any visitors until tomorrow, and then only family.

I will find out her address as soon as possible.

(To add to the hassles, my computer has crashed, so I am now doing this from the library!)
