Moving toward normal
I see light at the end of the tunnel! There is hope for a real life here in Germany! My wife is almost back to normal (those German ER Docs know what they’re doing) and my first day in the gym should be tomorrow (assuming everything goes as planned). Tomorrow should also be my first day of work, assuming I can get my work permit and living permits completed for me and my family! Dang, there sure are a lot of assumptions there! 
My plan is to rewind a week and start over: 2 sets of each exercise 6-10reps. The next step will be nutrition. I’m still working on how I’m going to work in that much protein with only a 2-burner stove top and no oven (and limited refrigerator space). I may be ordering some whey soon - hopefully overseas shipping isn’t too ridiculous! Realistically, that may be the only way to get in enough protein, as I can’t be cooking that many meals each day and can’t prepare enough in advance! I have been able to find a plethora of fresh fruits & veggies, though, so life is good!
