I've left Michael!

To stay overnight at V's home. She is in a lot of pain from her Christmas Day fall and could not get out of bed this morning. The doc thinks it is a deep tissue injury with a hematoma which has burst. The bruising, which was not apparent the first few days, now reaches almost up to her waist. So here I am, sleeping in a building for the first time in a long while. She has been advised to take it easy with a minimal amount of walking. So no adventures this week. Hopefully next week she will be well enough to do something.

Meanwhile I have downloaded a couple of books for her to read on her new Kindle Touch. One of them is called Motohuma the Firehead by Jennifer Munro. It is the story of a girl born and raised in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe (where I was born and raised) whose family has a big secret. Quite an enjoyable read. The other one is The Peachkeeper.


Bought roast chicken and salad for dinner and two videos to watch, Secretariat and some Keanu Reeves movie. C'est la vie!

Wonderful Wednesdays!!!

For Christmas we gave Virginia a Kindle Touch 3G. She previously has a Kindle 3G with keyboard which she found very difficult to navigate.

Another gift we have given her is Wonderful Wednesdays. This is a surprise gift that we will give to her every Wednesday. I got this idea from a Facebook friend of mine, who always had a special adventure on Fridays. Tomorrow we are going to do some pre-arranged chores around Vista, San Marcos and Oceanside and then we will take her to dinner at Fish House Vera Cruz in San Marcos.

Further to her fall on Christmas Day in San Diego, she has been having a lot of pain in her lower back and I firmly believe that she has a hairline fracture and some bruising in her pelvis, perhaps her Ischial Tuberosity.

Next week's Wonderful Wednesday will be.... still researching something wonderful! As she is in her 92nd year we have some limitations, but we mean to make our visit here in SoCal a good time for her as well. So watch this space to find out about next weeks adventure!

She looks wonderful for a 91 year old!!
