Update

                                                                                   

Dr Koshy Kurien Best Doctor EVER!
  Everyone here told us  that the season changes  in India can be very hard on your body and I  believe it now, I have been plagued with a head cold that won't go away ( actually everyone here has the same cold)  Larry and I have both had a stomach virus. He unfortunately got his while we were in Dehradun with Jamyangla and Tashila. So we spent all our time in the room (2 days) with the exception of one meeting I got to go to.  Larry with the flu, me with a broken leg and poor Colin stuck with us! fortunately we will get another chance to go back to Dehradun soon I think so hopefully we will see more than  4 walls this next time : )  



My big news is that I now have a new blue sportier model cast that is light weight,  handles well, easy to maneuver over obstacles,  and I can now bend my knee!!!!!! Yay. I still can't put any weight on it, maybe in two weeks, and I will still have to wear this new cast  for 5 more weeks so that's a bummer but hey, I can bend! and most importantly my bones are healing very well. When the cast came off I thought there would be a huge  bump but it is almost completely smooth. And the Xray according to the doctor is very good!





Also Colin is doing really good,  he has avoided the stomach virus and he is still having a great time with the monks and chasing monkeys, Flying kites and he is climbing trees like crazy, I love it, he hasn't really spent a lot of time doing that and it is one of the monks favorite things to do ( poor trees) I am so happy he is having fun outside!  We also have school 5 days a week unless we need to go somewhere. And he is doing really good with his studies. He is finally settling in which will make the rest of our time here much easier!

  2. Wonderful news about your leg! When I broke mine many, many years ago, the two months on crutches left me with amazing upper body strength -- a happy side benefit that I hope you're experiencing. How are you getting around? Crutches?

    1. Hello Chris I use the crutches for getting around. I'm not sure how much upper body strengh I will have, I can use the crutches in limited doses because I have arthritis in my shoulders so when I use them a lot it starts to really hurt. WOW how decrepit do I sound :) so you broke your leg too yikes it's awful isn't it! Well I am going to organize some cute pictures of the monks to post while the internet is up, talk to you soon,
