Wow! Have I been neglecting my blog! So much going on and I don't even know where to begin....just before the last post, my knees were hurting and I completely freaked out and got stuck in fear. But I kept breathing and instead of staying in the fear, I did something. I went to my orthosurgeon who said both my knees are 100% structurally fine (phew!) but they thought the root of the pain was coming from my back. So, they sent me to a spine specialist. The doctor looked at my back and ordered all the tests....Xrays, MRI, nerve tests.....and, once again, I was back to fear and the waiting game. Thankfully through all of this, I was still able to dance! So, the tests came back (oh and FYI, nerve tests HURT!) and I'm happy to say that I just have some herniated discs, some bulging discs and tears...and while that doesn't sound good, the good news is, all I need is PT. I caught all this at the early stages so it's not that bad. I can still dance!
So, once again, life has thrown me a curve ball....I've now added back exercises to the knee exercises. My PT list has grown, but if doing this every day means I will be able to dance forever, then I'm all for it. Thankfully I have some pretty amazing people in my life who listen to me and help me get out of my head when I get stuck in fear. And thankfully, I can continue to do what I love most in this world, DANCE.
Today's message from the universe:
"It's not the day you have to manage, Danelle, but the moment. It's not the dragon you have to slay, but the fear. And it's not the path you have to know, but the destination. What a relief, huh?"
