Ya know…..anybody that knows me knows how much I really hate hate hate asking anyone for help. I usually just push through what ever it is no matter how difficult it is, and no matter how much it hurts.
I was diagnosed a while back with pelvic bone and low back degeneration which includes my right hip socket....It means the right half of my pelvic bone is degenerating or slowly desolving.
If surgery were an option...but it is not.... it would put me out of work for weeks if not months....
But Orthopedic doctors, several of them tell me the surgery would not address the root causes of the problem.... However they tell me that Stem Cell and PRP injection therapy very well could. And I know several dancers and instructors have gone through it with great success or substantial improvement.
The bright side is that I would not really have to completely stop working, teaching or dancing during the treatments and it has from what I understand great potential for improving the quality of my life and movement.
The down side is that Health insurance does not cover this type of therapy or treatment and it can be quite expensive ... or should I say expensive for me. I have done my research....and talked to numerous professionals in this particular field and learned the pros and cons of this type of treatment... The pros for me far out weigh the cons.... it gives me hope.
I was talking to my daughter who lives in Florida about it yesterday.....and how worried I am about not being able to do anything to improve the situation.
I few hours after talking to my daughter yesterday she posted a Go Fund Me on my face book to try and help me afford the therapy and associated treatments.
Problem is most of you do not know my daughter… many of you did not even know I had a daughter. So almost 12 hours after it was posted… no one had responded….which is very depressing.
Back in February of 2022 I blew out my left knee while working at Charlotte Westie Fest...…. the doctors told me it was most likely because my left leg had been compensating for my right leg for a long long time…. and so so many people came to my aid….I could not believe how many people were willing to make donations and physically help……and I didn’t even have to ask…….For those of you that helped back then.....you know who you are.. thank you thank you thank you....Now I need your help again…..and believe me I hate hate hate asking anyone for help for anything……
I would very much like to keep teaching, dancing, judging dance events as long as I possibly can. I think this will help. I NEED to get this done as soon as possible.
If you have noticed me walking with a limp.. or maybe not dancing as much as I used to this is why...
If you can, if you will... even the smallest amount will help.
Thank you for what ever you can do.
