Not the week we expected …

The week started just fine.  I collected the last harvest of the Macadamia Nuts.

Then the fun part of shelling, while sitting outside on a nice sunny day.

Fran quickly turned some into a yummy Macadamia Nut cake.

Since the oven was already hot, Fran also used up the last of our loquats to make a yummy crumble.

Saturday was another beautiful day.  We decided to ride our bikes from Liberty Station to Lane Field for the weekend market.

The market takes place every weekend and is basically a food truck gathering:

And a few vendors:

 along with some live music.

We enjoyed the music and selected teriyaki shrimp to share across the street on the Malecon.

And that's when the phone rang…

Fran’s brother Bobby fell, the clinic in San Felipe diagnosed a broken hip.

Medicare insurance is not valid outside of the US, he was transported by Red Cross ambulance to a hospital in Calexico ... You can bet that was expensive!

And then on to San Diego’s UC Medical Center in Hillcrest.

Fran and Aleida chatting in the Intensive Care Unit waiting room.  

From the staff in the ICU we learned it was a fractured femur not a broken hip.  They placed and secured a rod that evening. 

EKG just completed

Looks like he’ll be our house guest for a few days starting tomorrow. 

Fran's sister had this same surgery last month, giving us a idea what the recovery will be like.
