Some of us aren't very good at listening to HOW to recover from lil things like car accidents. I am, apparently, one of those. The week following the accident on 12 Feb was painful, but I thought okay. Until, I over-did it. It is unwise to continue working when you have a concussion, especially when your work is dance. Sounds logical, right? Well, you only open your new dance home once in a great long while, if ever.
The opening of Echo Park Contemporary Ballet Centre was a blast. I'm glad it happened, I'm glad I performed, I'm grateful for the support we had... the community was AMAZING. Check out A Time To Dance's Post for Maria's thoughts :)
I'm not so glad I ended up in the emergency room the next day with the single worst pain I've experienced. WTF?!
I'm not a fan of hospitals, but I'm glad I went. Now I know better. Take the week off and recover. Let my brain rest. And just heal.
So, that's the plan... over and out.
Kelly! As your best-friend-currently-not-in-residence I command you to take better care of yourself. STAT.
ReplyDeleteI'm in good hands - a.k.'s kept me quiet all day, my girl is w/ my mom, and I'm trying to be good. My halo's a lil crooked as you know. :)
ReplyDeleteIs this what being 30 is all about? If so, I refuse!
Get better- those head traumas can be disturbingly long-lived.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this... I hope you're feeling better now! Sometimes it is really hard to see what is best for yourself-- particularly for a performer when you only have sporadic opportunities to show your work.
ReplyDeleteI am doing much better... it's bizarre, though. This is the first injury I've ever encountered that actually forced me to stop. I'm definitely simplifying some aspects of life :)
