Knee surgery!

Flippity flap Jacks yall! 

Knee surgery happened and I'm safely recovering 

Have had some knee issues over the last couple years but in 2020 something set it off such that going up and down stairs, using the clutch/parking break, and even squats and lunges were a problem. Went through a lot of PT and a PRP injection but it wasn't getting any better so....here I am!

Doc said he found some flippity flapping stuff that he removed then drilled into the cartilage to get it to bleed out healing and injected PRP directly into the spot for more healing. 

First time on crutches! Here I go! 

YOU KNOW there's going to be a parody song about this! lol

See you tomorrow for the morning update! 

Back to ballet in 2021

As some of you know, I've been out of the ballet game for almost a year....no, not due to COVID per-se (although that's probably part of it) but because of my knee injury. Last February I started experiencing extreme knee pain when going upstairs, driving with a clutch, or even just walking in general sometimes. 

Over the past few years I've noticed certain things aggravated my knees (like lunges and stairs) so I mostly just stayed away from them and it didn't get worse but something between cheerleading, ballet class, and maybe a Cupid's Undie Run aggravated it. So I stayed off it for several months and it still didn't get better. Finally an MRI showed some bruised cartilage but even then the doctor isn't convinced that's what the problem is. 

Anyway, my physical therapist has cleared me for ballet class and it's been too long. So I am starting attending ZOOM ballet classes on Monday nights. No pointe shoes yet but soon hopefully!

I'm back baby! Also, I'm doing Monday morning ballet barre live streams on my twitch channel and posting them on YouTube for the longterm. 

Check out the first one of 2021!
