Hello Mari Luz,

I will have the plaster splint until the 3rd of February. If everything goes well, maybe I would come back on the 6th February, but I don´t know yet. I have to go to the doctor and he´ll tell me. I´ll cross my fingers.

I´ll keep in touch with you through the blog. If you have any questions, just ask. I´ll try to answer as soon as possible. See you soon, I hope.
