Trying to be a strong dog.

So yeah, I've been trying to be strong. Yesterday I went to my lessons and it was aweful! I went by bus...this first was hard...getting on and off the bus. I'm not supposed to put ANY pressure on it. Yeah that was definitely out of the question yetserday! So i got a little frustrated and teary eyed on the way to the stop, but i stayed strong. The bus ride was fine. And getting to the first lesson was fine. The walk after I almost cried again, got to the next lesson and totally broke down in front of the mother of my students. She was so nice though, and made me feel much better. There's something about Korean hospitality that makes you feel better! So I got on the bus home and people were really nice, but when we got to my stop i about fell on the floor when the bus was stopping and almost fell out of the bus and slammed my foot down on the ground. By this point i'm almost in tears, but i can make it home right, just get a taxi and i'm home free. Well, this was the most difficult time i've ever had getting a taxi. The first taxi i found was a "Seoul Only" taxi so he wouldn't take me. Then there was a deluxe taxi, the first one wouldn't take me (i don't know why), so by this time the tears are falling down my eyes as i got into the taxi that finally took me home. It was a deluxe taxi too so it cost double, but i was ready to get home. Then I had the 6 stairs down to our apt. That was the end of it for me. Brian came out and helped me down but i couldn't help just bawling!
So all that to say, I am staying off of it til i get the real cast..right now i'm only in a wraping with a hard bottom...brace that's the word...brace. to prevent gangreen...mmmmmm....So maybe it'll be better on Saturday, b/c i really want to get back into working...

I'm ok now...just thought i'd give a little light into how i feel right now...a little broken down, a little beaten down. But now i'm home all day for 2 days, and a little bored, but it's better than crying on the way home from lessons!

Love you all
Amanda

Amanda!! I'm so sorry! If it makes you feel any better, I would have just bawled the entire time--no trying to be strong for me. Take it easy and get some rest!!!
Love,
Glenna
