But, they took her anyway and discovered how much damage really had occurred. She had two broken ribs, a broken collarbone, a spine broken in three places, a crushed foot, a leg broken in eleven places, her shoulder was dislocated and her pelvis was broken in three places. It took approximately two years for Kahlo to recover from her injuries. .
As soon as she was able to move her arms, she wrote letters to her boyfriend Gomez, telling him about how badly she was hurt and how much she had missed him. She begged him to come and visit her. Frida desperately sent him letter after letter expressing her feelings for him.
Gomez never did come to visit. He didn't even take the time to write her a letter back. Frida was heartbroken and by the summer of 1926 she suffered a serious relapse. She then became very depressed, lonely, and some say immobile. .

After she realized this, her once independent view on life vanished. She became obsessed with her husband Diego Rivera and totally devoted her life to him.
