It has been a WHY-YULL since I've updated you all. So, long story short, NO surgery (not for several more years). Tried an Rx, no good. Tried another steroid, so far, so good! I'm attempting a little Zumba here and there but so far, still testing the waters. I'll update more... someday! Miss you all!

My my, how things change…
Today was my surgery date. I’m not going to post details but after a last minute conversation with my doctor a few days ago, I will be switching doctors ASAP. I’ve already got another appointment scheduled. Not exactly starting over but kind of. I’m guessing surgery won’t happen now until August/September. Frustrated with the delay but I think I dodged a bullet. So, see ya next year, probably.

Hey, friends? Been wondering if I’m alive? Well, I am. Sort of. LOL!

The pinched nerve got fixed with two steroid injections that finally kicked in in April but the knee is still an issue. I’m having surgery in a couple weeks. Hopefully just partial replacement. (They won’t know for sure until they go in.) Then he said three months of recovery although I think he’s thinking FULL recovery. I have to be on my feet the SAME DAY and I’ll start therapy that same week. But three months means October until I might be teaching Zumba again. Isn’t that crazy?! TEN MONTHS! And, there’s always the possibility that I won’t come back to it. I’m sure if I do it’s going to be a slow process. Maybe not too bad if it’s just partial but IDK. We’ll see!

So that’s the update. Hope you’re finding ways to keep moving and having fun! I’m trying to be at Planet Fitness as much as possible. These 438 pounds I’ve gained need to go. 😂

Well, it’s not THE WORST news but it’s not good.

I will be out for at least another month. I’m going to try injections in my knee that will take three weeks plus probably another week to recover. (And that’s not even scheduled yet.) AND my fingers are crossed but I’m not even getting my hopes up that those will work. So, if it doesn’t, partial knee replacement. And MORE recovery time.

That doesn’t even include the pinched nerved which has to get resolved before knee surgery (because… urgent). 🤦🏻‍♂️

Soooooo, it’s gonna be a while….

Still no. BUT we’re making progress! I finally had my knee MRI and I have the follow up appointment this week. AND I fiiiiiiiiinally get to have an injection to relieve the pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder/arm this week, too!!
FING. ERS. CROSSED. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I miss all of you sooooo much. 😩

(But still, not this week, likely not next week because of the musical at school PLUS the joint issues. Mayyyyybe after that? There’s a light somewhere down the tunnel!)
