Here I Comeeeee!!

Well I have finally given into blogging! I figure this will be an easier way for everyone to know what is going on in my life and it saves me a lot of emails!! I also will have a lot more time on my hands since I will be 'out of action' for awhile. Last Friday I was a lucky girl-- broke my achilles tendon, had surgery on Saturday, and now have a cast on for 5 weeks. Here is a picture of my cast and the operation for y'all to see.

My time in the hospital passed pretty quickly. I had a lot of visitors, which I am very thankful for, otherwise it would have been a long two days. Javi's mom, Rosa, came for the weekend and my friends, Estela, Yadira, and Sara were at the hospital for the surgery and a lot of the weekend. I got a lot of chocolate from people (just what I need!), other goodies, and some magazines. The doctor came yesterday to check on everything and said everything was looking good and that I could go home instead of staying until Monday. However, I must say it is quite the challenge trying to do things with crutches. My right leg (buttcheek) is going to be really strong by the time this is over! Javi has been great about helping with things too even though he will never be quite as clean as me. I think we would be fighting every 2 seconds if I kept telling him ALL the things I wanted done :)
