This may explain why I did not get to write a post for a few days. Last Friday we got a call from the front desk that Betty Stainton (a cousin from Miami FL )was in the lobby to see us. This was a pleasant surprise, so we went down to see her. Not only was Betty there but also Craige Stainton(former wife of Sam who lives in Erie a few miles north of here, and Julie Zelman, Betty's step- daughter who had come down from the Northeast to meet Betty and Craige at Craige's home in Westminster. Unfortunately, we were on our way to lunch with another resident and they could not join us so we had an about 15 minute visit with them, with the expectation that we would have Betty and Sam over for a visit later. On Saturday morning Craige called back to give us the news that Betty had driven up to Erie and had a good visit with Sam, but when she arrived back at Craige's she fell and broke her hip. She is in St Anthony's North Hospital here in Westminster and will have surgery this afternoon to have a couple of pins put in. She does not need a hip replacement fortunately. To make a long story short, we worked out an arrangement for Betty to have rehab care here at our Covenant Care Health Center which should work well for all.
