NICE DAY IN A VERY TYPICAL CANARIAN VILLAGE

Well, as i am still without walking, so I have to make my day exciting doing other stuff, pretty much like a normal person. John is here spending a week, so we went up the mountain to Teror, a typical Canarian village. It was really nice and chilly, quite nice feeling to have here in the Canaries. We had a proper Canarian meal, a Sancocho (a fish dish, the most typical from Gran Canaria) and some mojo canario..mmmm..so good!!!!

The village is super pretty an have some really old typical canarian houses with the typical wooden balconies and a big church, where the Virgen del Pino lives. If you come to the Canaries on holidays, dont get stuck just down in the south, there are plenty of really pretty place to visit!

MY NEW HOBBIE!

like now I cant be playing on my feet, I have started painting a bit. I love paints and people that can do it properly.. i love to watch paints and to me is amazing what artist make. I always wanted to paint, and when i was at Uny i did a bit but not much, and since then i always wanted to have time or dedication to do it. So now was the perfect time. It didnt came out too bad! next I will do a moon and after a star... trilogy! heheheh... Hope you like it!

No, I am not retiring, but I am selling the gear I have in my garage (actually in my brother's apartment). So if you are coming around GC and are interested in some, just contact me. The gear I have left is here on the left of your screen.
see ya!

REHAB AND THE REST OF MY DAY...

Yesterday I had a so so day. It is so easy to become hopeless. I went to the fisio in the morning, that was quite fun, but theN the afternoon was soooooo long. But my friend Ali came to the rescue. I hadn't seen her in a while (she lives in Barcelona, and is the first woman sailing in a team in the America´s Cup!!! super impressive!!!). I try to keep myself busy, but the busier I wan to be, the more time I waist! Plus my arse gets so painful from sitting with one leg up! The highlight of my day was at night, I had tears in my eyes from laughing... I just heard yesterday about that nasty video, the 2girls1cup thing. I guess you might have all heard of it. it is a disgusting (very, very VERY disgusting) video. But the fun thing is that it is so disgusting that a lot of people have filmed themselves watching it and have put their reactions on YouTube (they filmed me too!). The other videos from the reactions of the people are just f*cking hilarious!!!!!!!!

FREEDOM!!!!! FIRST DAY OF REHAB, MY FOOT FREE OF CAST!

Hi There!!!!

Yesterday night I got my first session of fisiotherapy. they took all the bandages off and this is how it looks like!!! awful!!!!!!!!!!!!
check how skinny my poor leg is compared with the healthy one!!!!

Well, now my foot is free, but i still cannot use it, i cant walk or anything, but at least it is more comfortable. It is a bit scarey, as the foot doesn't have any protection at the moment, so if I fell ( I wont!) it will hurt for suuuuuuure.

we did some movement with the foot, and then some electric stimulation to regain my poor muscle.

My ankle feels so relief...I can move my foot back and forth... feels great!!!!

all the best!!!!!!

INAUGURATION AT MY SCHOOL...

Hi there,
A few weeks ago I got an special phone call. It was my Phisical Education teacher, from my school when I was a kid. It was the Teresianas school, it was a nuns school, and I spent there since I was 6 years old until 17!!!!!!!! long time and long time ago.
There, every year we had a special "sports" week, the Olimpiadas, and every year a sport person did the inauguration speech, and this year, they asked me to do it!!!!!!!
It was really special, as I spent so much time in that school and it meant a it to me, and it was gonna be first time that and old student was gonna do it, so they were also really happy about it.
It was super fun to see al the kids and teenagers doing a little show, and it seemed like it was yesterday that I was the one doing it.
Then after I went to the doctor again. I got the stitches out!!!!!!!!! The surgeon said that the operation went really good, and that i can start doing some movements, without putting any weight o pressure on it, but it s a start!!!

BACK WITH MY STITCHES ON (UGLY PICTURE BELOW, CAREFUL IF SENSITIVE)

I am back from the hospital, and they said is too early for the stitches, so I still got them. I also got some xray awayn, because i hit my foot with the crutches the other day (lucky girl!), just in case something might have happened. Anyway, my surgeon was in USA, in a congress or something, so I will try to visit him on monday, and see what he says.
And here you have a pic of my poor little foot at the moment... they put it back in the cast, but i could see him for a few minutes to cheer him up!

ON MY WAY TO TAKE THE STITCHES OUT...

Hi There,

I have to go to the hospital in a bit, to check on my foot, take stitches out, etc... lets see what they say.
To make things even more fun, now I seem to be getting a bit sick. Last night i was sweating like a pig, and my throat is sore. Like they say in Spain, "all fleas go to skinny dogs".
I think something might be wrong with my karma or something. Or if I look at it from another perspective, I better get all the bad things to come in one go, while I cannot really do anything, and after I will be free!!!!!!

Probably will post some news about what the doctors said later this afternoon.

all the best to all!!!!

NEVER HAD SO MANY PEOPLE ON MY BED!

Yesterday my friends came around to visit. They are the best of the best of the best of the whole world!!!!!!!! as i cannot really move much with my 10 tons cast, we camp in my bedroom for a while, eating cakes and drinking beers ( I skip the beers, not very good to mix it with the thousand pills I am taking at the moment). I think I am going to learn a lot from this injury. They are all amazing, I knew that already, but this is more than expected!. And my mum and my unties... unbelievable! they are even better, God! they made me feel better than in a 5 stars hotel! at the beginning I was al tense and sort of pissed off, because I hate to be dependent and to be asking people to do things for me, or that they just do my things, tiding up, dinners, etc... and didnt want accept the help. But after a while, when I accepted that I cannot (and should not) really move around from the moment, I am seeing more clearly how dependent we are on other people for everything. Now i am more relax, I am in bed and not worry about it, not feeling like I am been a slob, just accepting that it is what it is.
Normally I dont really spend much time with my mum, always traveling, and when I am at home I am in my place with John, etc... so we never really just kill time together talking a bit more about everything, and now it feels like I am a little girl again, like when I lived at home and spent more time with her, so it is really nice. They always say that everything happens for a reason, so maybe, this is my reason.
Thanks a lot to all!!!

BACK HOME AFTER THE SURGERY.

Hello!

Well, I am back home. I got into hospital on Wednesday night, to get the op on Thursday morning. I was shitting myself, about everything, about how the surgery was going to go, what sort of anesthesia I was gonna have ( i didnt want to have full anesthesia, even if everybody had told me that was quite nice "flight").
First they put me some sort of "happy drug" to keep me calm (it went straight to my head!) and then i got the epidural (I don't know if that is the right name in English). So I was awake all the time (well, I think i slept half of it without even realizing). They put a plaque and 5 screws... so I think that if it doesnt stick back together now, i dont know how it will do it.
Being at the hospital made me think a lot. About how bloody lucky we are. There was loads o other people there suffering from very different things, and it was so sad. Also, it made me think about the people that works in health, how amazing they are for taking care of the others.
All my friends came around to visit, what was really nice. You never realize about how important those things are until you are on it. So thank you all!
And also thanks to aaaaallll the emails i have received to cheer me up! it is so nice to get support .... you are amazing guys!!!!!!!
thanks so much.
So well, now I am at home. I still need to be in bed all the time for a few more days. Dude! the cast weights like a ton!!!!! but they say it is normal after the surgery, that they do it on purpose to stop you from moving around too much.
