My road to recovery is going well. I'm making excellent progress in physical therapy and my limp is slowly turning into the 'sashshay' my mom says I have when I walk. It feels great!
The best part of my recovery is resuming my regular fitness activities; ZUMBA!! The thought of returning actually came during a PT session. One of my new exercises is similar to a move done in one of the zumba routines I was familiar with. I shared it with my therapist and let her know 'it' was happening. I was going to zumba! She didn't say I shouldn't go, but she didn't say I should go, either. She just wanted me to be smart and not hurt myself and to listen to my body.
Going back to class felt as though I had never left. Hearing the familiar songs and knowing some of the choreography helped, too. My friends/instructor were glad to see me as I was glad to see them. Listening to the music, shaking my body, and just moving in a way I hadn't been able to move for in a while felt great!
I had a blast.
I'm so glad zumba is back in my life.
