    Hi Hannah, I don't usually post comments but I just wanted to say.. I had major foot surgery many years ago and was six-weeks non-weight bearing! Oh the pain and inflammation! Two things that got me through: 1. I tied an ice pack tied behind the knee and then kept the foot raised - this helped enormously with the inflammation, even during the recovery period after walking, etc., any time it was painful I would put the foot up and tie on a pack of peas with a tea towel!
    2. humour! I read Jeeves and Wooster, as I couldn't concentrate on anything serious. Now really is the time to let yourself binge-watch some comedy or drama, anything that helps pass the time and take your mind off the situation.
    Many years later I am finally dancing en pointe, something the surgeon said I wouldn't be able to do... With recovery what counts is not how long it takes, but how long it LASTS.
    God bless you through this time xx

    Physiotherapist here…To promote healing and protect your operated right ankle, if you are using one cane, it should be held on your LEFT arm, not the same side as your operated ankle.
    This way when you walk, the cane and the operated ankle go forward TOGETHER, and you Share the weight bearing of your operated right ankle with your left arm. ❤from Montreal

    I never had foot surgery during my professional dancing days but I can only imagine your frustration. When you talked about waking up at four am working through dance moves etc I would go through complete variations and make corrections. I like to think it was constructive. Happy healing Hannah!

    🤗 Thx for being so transparent! I pray your recovery goes well now that the stitches are out. My 18 yo dancer spent all Summer recovering from a right ft fracture. She had to start the school year at her ballet academy 4 weeks late and it was really hard on her but with Gods help she’s doing really well now. I get it when you spoke about 1 step forward and two back. 😅

    You’re doing great. Recovering from surgery is often 2 steps forward 1 step back. You will get thru this period and reach the stage of continual improvement. Getting out is so important to keep your spirits up. The 4am wake up is something that happens to me a lot 😂. Absolutely hate it. Your family is so wonderful and supportive. Listen to your mum!
    Keep up the recovery process and trust in God to get you thru this. You’re still young and time to let yourself make a full recovery without pushing it too hard.

    🤗 I’ve had 9 surgeries, which included double knee partial replacements, and many years of Physical Therapy. I’m now dealing with tennis elbow for a second year (so painful). All this to say I’ve experienced really good days during my recoveries and really bad days. On the good days I’ve always pushed myself a little harder only to then take two steps back for the next week. But then the following week I was a little bit stronger. You’re going to have those days (good, really good, really bad) throughout your recovery….just remember that it’s OK to feel frustrated on the lose bad days but that you’re ARE making progress forward! As one of my physical therapists once told me, it’s better to recover slowly and be better in the long run than rush through recovery and end up weaker in the long run. Long term gains are the goal! You Got This!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

    Hi Hannah. Just wanted to share as an ex-nurse who has had several foot surgeries, NEVER has it been advised to not sweat! I have too many platelets, take Aspirin, and so bleed profusely. Never has the blood affected the stitches, so a bit of sweat will be fine. Hope you get back to dancing soon x

    I know it's frustrating and you want to speed up the recovery process. Be patient with yourself as we as with your body. I've had a broken bone in my foot, a torn meniscus, 3 bulging discs in my back, sciatica...you get the picture. What I try to think of is that these are humbling experiences that puts one in one's place, as well as a time to rejoice in the awesomeness of our body's ability to heal. One day you will look back and see how far you've come. You have a great mom to keep you on track. Be thankful!

    У гимнасток есть профессиональная проблема: скованность. Они не могут её решить, если не занимаются танцами, йогой или не тренируются в цирке. Как Вы считаете, после занятий балетом гимнастки могут стать раскованными? Как выглядит гимнастика с предметами в исполнении балерины? Вы могли бы показать примерно, как экспромт, например?

    You should have had a physical therapist to supervise your exercise program when you 1st started weight bearing this is the trickiest point in recovery. Even 1 or 2 appointments would have helped. They don't do that in England?

    You're healing wonderfully, Hannah. It's normal to improve and get worse and go back and forth. It's also normal not to feel cheerful and filled with gratitude all the time. But you know, if everything were great and we were always happy and had everything we needed, we would never have to ask God for help. Thank you for your encouraging talk at the end! Here's an anthem to encourage you in turn: ruclips.net/video/jl2_gSExTA0/видео.htmlsi=D5Mp9odpgtWePRG9 🤗
