Good And Bad….

The day started off pretty well with Paul doing his morning walk traversing the neighborhood for an hour!  We then had a great salad right out of our garden (it does not get better than that!).   In the afternoon we went to Cafe St Germain for a short visit before getting ready to see the Celtic Nights performance at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts.   We met Donna at Old Ranch as Bob had to work that night. Leaving the parking lot was beautiful

We dined at the Arte Cafe which was good on food but lacked service attention we normally receive.  Paul droped off Donna and Sue at the entrance and went to park the car,

Celtic Nights – Spirit of Freedom showcases the story of Irish independence, beginning 100 years ago with the 1916 Easter Rising. In an evening of music, song, dance, and storytelling, the show highlights the rich Irish heritage by turning the spotlight on the struggles of a people fighting to gain freedom, independence, and true democracy.

We headed for the theater just in time to have a champagne and head to our fantastic seats.  Before going in, Sue headed for the ladies room by herself.  On our way in we saw a medical technician taking care of someone and it was Sue.  She fell down.  We got a bandage for a cut finger and went on into the theater.

Half way through the first performance the fall was taking its toll.  We left at half-time and went home.  Paul decided we were going back to the emergency room as it looked pretty bad.

We go there at 10:00 and after x-rays we found that Sue had broken two fingers in her left hand!

Heart Breaker... Wedding ring had never been off

The ring had to come off and the nurse worked magic in not having to cut it off!

The comparison made it so obvious

The hand was throbbing in pain!  X-Ray show ring finger was broken by the knuckle and there was another fracture just up from the index finger!

The split is not pretty but it is functional

We finally hit the sack about 3:00 am after a painful experience.

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
