Life update from Anna. If you know me, I never miss work or dance. Unless I’m seriously ill. This time it’s just that. I’m battling a massive infection that has taken hold in the soft tissue of my face, but I’m staying positive. I might look a bit like Quasimodo at the moment, but time at the hospital and some CT scans have given us a clear path forward - it’s just a tough infection that needs time to heal.
The real challenge is that it’s left me feeling totally knocked out. So you won’t see me in class this week, but I’m grateful for an incredible support system. Thanks to Ally, Haley, and Mallory for stepping in without hesitation to keep classes running smoothly. And special thanks to Haley for being a rockstar and driving me to the ER and hanging there during a tornado warning.
I’m looking forward to being back to full strength next week. In the meantime, I’m giving myself some extra time to recover and will delay handing out costumes by a week. If you have any questions, please let me know.
See you all next week!
