2/6/14 - I have now been in Cleveland, Ohio for the past week.  Came in on 1/30/14 around 6:00pm.  I have been helping my Aunt Esther since she has a fractured femur and is non weight bearing for the next 6-8 weeks.  She had surgery, then rehab in a group home and then came home and I came in.  It has been nice getting to know her better and to be able to help her make it more comfortable for her at home.  She has a doctor's appointment tomorrow and then we will know when the weight bearing can begin and also start some physical therapy since I am scheduled to go home on 2/19/14.

I did put my gear on her car and before the big snow storm, went to the grocery store to get food so we would be OK for a while.  It started to snow in the evening of 2/4 and then snowed most of the day on 2/5.  Today the high is only 20 degrees so think I will just stay in and look out!! 

Yesterday morning I was eating some scrambled eggs and sausage when I hit felt something hard in my mouth.  I soon learned that I had broken a tooth off my new top dentures so was very upset.  I called the dentist in San Diego and the office did not know anyone in Cleveland so Aunt Esther was able to make an appointment with her dentist but now there was the issue of driving in the snow so she got one of her friends to come and take me to the dentist at 3:00pm.  Her dentist was so nice and helpful and in about 1 1/2 hours, I had the tooth repaired and on my way back to the house.  She has used this dentist for a long time and he was very sweet and did  not charge me anything.  Her friends were very sweet as well.  I am so glad that is over with.

Today we are making something with chicken breasts, take care of some personal items (coloring and curling of hair).

The attached picture was taken on 2/5 out the patio door of my aunt's condo.
