Indio, California: Though it has finally stopped raining and the temperatures are finally rising into the 70's during the day, there just isn't a lot to write about. My Poor Driver is barely getting around. He needs only a cane (no crutches), but his movement is fairly restricted. Just a few steps at a time. Luckily he can find a parking spot a few steps from the doctor office and a few steps from Tacos Gonzalez - his most-frequented establishments this past week.
There are three positive things to report about Dave's knee injury. 1) The swelling has gone down considerably, so a MRI has been scheduled for February 1st. Finally, he will learn how much the knee has been damaged. 2) Dave can't run. He can't bike. He can't walk. He can't golf. But My Athlete has learned he can drag his lower body across the swimming pool! Though bystanders insist on throwing-in a life ring (assuming he is flailing), Dave can get a pretty decent aerobic workout swimming (without kicking his legs). It is impossible to keep a life-long exerciser from moving around. He will always find a way. 3) The injury is on his left leg; Dave can still drive.
Which is how we found ourselves in Los Angeles this weekend.


Sunday, Lisa made decadent raspberry scones for breakfast. She used this recipe, but did not add the sugary topping.



We drove back to Indio this evening, and are hoping for a few relaxing days of warm weather and good news from the MRI.
Until my next update, I remain, your Gong Shi Fat Tsai correspondent.
