Some not so great news....
So I am here in Europe having the time of my life and finding out that this is when God is choosing to test me more than ever before. I fell yesterday and broke a bone in my foot. We thought it was just a sprain, but I went to the hospital (in a German Ambulance) and found out that I brok the small bone below your pinky toe on my right foot. I am on bed rest pretty much for the next couple of days and on monday I have surgury. I have to have surgury for the tendon does not separate from the bone. I will be in the hospital for a couple of days and then 2 weeks of recovery. Obviously this is not what I wanted, but we are going to make it work. It is good timing because I start my home stay on monday, so I won't be moving around. As of now I am in a lot of pain and wishing that this didn't happen 4 days into my trip. I am not coming home, the thought didn't even cross my mind. People in Germany get injured too, it's not ideal, but I am going to work it out and do it. I will write more soon!

Sorry to hear that Kay...but now you have one more experience that many of us will never have...riding in a German Ambulance! :) I know that it is scary to be hurt/sick far away from home, but hopefully you will have a speedy recovery. Hey, maybe you could even wear one of those sexy boots like your mom got to wear after her surgery?! haha. :) Take care.
ReplyDeleteKay...so the graceful lessons didn't pay off Huh? Your mom called and let us know the latest. Take care of yourself...get that foot better as there are many more months of trapsing to do!
ReplyDeleteKay Kay...I have a feeling German doctors are better than Mexican dentists. ;) I am sorry this happened so soon...but hopefully you'll be in good hands. Glück im Unglück ("good luck in misfortune"). Feel better soon!
