Just Call Me Hermana Hop Along

Just remember that the H is silent in Spanish, but it still has a really nice ring to it don´t you think?

In case you haven´t heard, I had a little disagreement with some stairs yesterday and the stairs won, my ankle is broken! Stupid stairs. My companion reminded me that this was my 5th fall in Ecuador, seems my balance issues are going to be a problem here. Blast.

This is me at CCI (mall) with my Zone Leader Elder Cedeño. The Elders seemed to really enjoy my crutches. Unfortunately they are far more skilled with them than I.

My at the Clinica Pinchicha, one of the nicer hospitals in Quito. I think my being white made the process go quite a bit faster!

Pre-cast, it swelled up like that instantly, totally wicked.


Me and my big fat cast, I think I get the real thing next week...this is just a soft cast that is open on top.

Ah your ankle is HUGE! How long are you in a cast for?

Oh, and the word verification is "gerbansh". Let's make a word.

Ouch!!! I'll bet if you were in heels that wouldn't have happened. We have had so much snow here, that who knows how many times you would have slipped on the ice here. You'll have to take another picture when the bruising starts in-for a totally 'sic' picture and bragging rights. Be careful out there!!!!
