LOCAL HAPPENINGS

On Monday, August 10, visiting the Ed Martinez household in Hemet, California were none other than Alice and Lindsay Johnson. This was their first time visiting in Hemet and luckily, there was no traffic and made it From Santa Monica to here in less than two hours (100+) miles. We visited and enjoyed lunch at Applebee's. Lindsay enjoyed many of Elise's old recipe books including some from Rhineland and Knox County (Texas). We really enjoyed their visit and hopefully next time they can stay longer.

On another note, the leg from my hip joint fracture is healing well with still time to go. While there is still some pain in the leg, yesterday the Orthopedic Surgeon who did my surgery started to let me start putting weight on the leg. It will take some time to really start putting up to 50% of the weight on the leg, and will take a little time to trust it. It will at least let me start walking a little using a walker and will get me off of the wheelchair a lot less.

Lesson learned: Stay away from ladders or at least be very careful with them as you get older. It takes a lot longer to heal with age. That's all for now and until then, let us all know what is happening with your families by using the old blog.
