Letter from Frida Kahlo to Alejandro Gómez Arias, October 13, 1925 Page 5 of 7

They have only brought my mom to see me twice since I’ve been here, 25 days today which have seemed like a thousand years to me, and my dad once; so I want to go home as soon as possible; but that won’t be until the swelling goes down completely and all the wounds heal, so there’s no chance of infection and so I don’t go… to ruin. What do you think? In any case I don’t think it will be longer than this week… anyway I’m counting the hours as I wait for you wherever, here or at home, because that way, seeing you, the months in bed will go by much faster.
