First day of #physicaltherapy was yesterday. I wanted to cry. I hate this. But I'm doing the things I need to do. I'm grateful to have my own space to recover and relax in. I have a long year ahead of me. 📸 by @beatloaf_stl . . . #tornacl #arthoscopicsurgery #kneesurgery #recovery #scartissue #kneebrace #dancerdown #dancersnightmare #injury #surgery #jeezloueez (at Athletico)

I did it!!!! Survived this first surgery. In a ton of pain and feeling kinda blah. This knee brace weighs more than my leg honestly 😂😂😂 Thank you all so much for your help over the past 8 months. This is just the beginning of a long, long road to recovery. I will be in physical therapy 5 days a week and also getting a CPM machine delivered that bends and extends my leg. Woof. It's rough times. And I just moved to the fourth floor so PLEASE COME VISIT!!! And a huge thank you to my love @aaaensign for not only giving me the gift of health insurance to make this possible, but for supporting me every step of the way. I love y'all! If you would like to donate to my time off for recovery check the link in my bio! . . . #arthoscopicsurgery #kneesurgery #scartissue #tornACL #injury #surgery #onelegloueez #roadtorecovery #dancersnightmare (at Gold Coast Surgicenter)
