Update for December 29th

Hola,

I just wanted to say "muchas gracias" for the many cards and gifts left for me for the holidays.  It is always so nice to be remembered at this time of year.  I hope everyone is enjoying their time away from school.  My knee surgery went very well and I am now attending physical therapy, so I'll be ready to go next week.  Hope you have a fun New Year's celebration!
