Read this excerpt from Frida Kahlo by Hedda Garza. Despite her pessimism, Kahlo's love of life prevailed.
Her broken bones healed, and her spirits improved
when she was able to leave her bed and walk. Still in
pain and limping, Kahlo decided not to return to school.
"I felt I had energies for anything except studying to
become a doctor," she wrote in one of her many notes
to Gomez.
