Physical Therapy

So earlier in my blog history I wrote a post about my broken butt. Well since then I have been attending Physical therapy, PT, three times a week. It has officially been four weeks and every day I go in I do the stretches, Pilate lifts, bike, squats, balance, and stretchy bands. I had virtually no pain at all, until two days ago when Rob, the physical therapist, asked me what my limitations were. He asked, "Is there any dance move that you can think of that might agitate the hamstring?" "No," I replied, "the only thing that might bother it would be another split." He had me do the split and guess what, when the left leg was in front it was good, no pain, but when I got the right leg out front, my hip cracked again. My pain level before that was like a -2, it shot all the way up to a 6. He wanted me to try it again slower, I was like, "You're crazy." I laid there with ice on for about 10 minutes. I left and headed out to practice after picking up Jason and getting diner. I took 2 Advil and 2 Tylenol as we arrived at rehearsal.

I walked in only to find out that the schedule was changed from vocals to dance. I am a featured dancer and was barely able to walk, yes it hurt that much. I walked in and told the choreograph, guess what she did, *Death Glare*. I did learn the dance, from the sidelines. Now yesterday I stayed after school for practice, mom picked me up and we went to the chiropractor, then to PT, then to get a new x-ray. I was really worried that the crack hurt the hip even more. If something did happen, that would probably mean surgery, and that equals no dancing for about a year and a half. My mom just informed me that the doctor said "There is no big change in the x-rays and that I need to lighten up on the PT for a while." *worried expression* "No BIG changes!?!? Does that mean that there was a change???"

Well that is all for now, see Y'all for the next post.
