It's amazing how fast life can slap you upside the head eh? I've been back for what? A day and a half? =)
So...here's the situation...
Maribel and I had a meeting with the owner of the house and her lawyer this morning. She and her husband have been home visiting from Spain for the past few weeks. On the upside, supposedly the roof is fixed. The next big rain will tell. On the downside, they want $5000 US more for us to continue living here.

The medical people suddently came over to my bed after looking at the x-ray and tried to stabilize my head. Of course they didn't have a collar so they made one out of cardboard and gauze.
