Allison's Injury

Here is an update from Allison's blog regarding her injury:

HEY LOVES!!

I HAVE RECEIVED SO MANY BLESSINGS FROM EVERYONE..AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU!! I REALLY AM APPRECIATIVE FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!

LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED.....

A FEW WEEKS AGO I DID A ROUTINE WITH ADECHIKA, AND THERE WAS A LIFT WE DID WHERE I LAID MY RIBS ON HIS SHOULDERS AND HE WOULD SPIN ME IN THE AIR!! IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL..BUT THE GETTING INTO IT - I JUMP SO WE CAN GET MOMENTUM, WHICH MEANS I LAND PRETTY HARD RIGHT ON HIS SHOULDER WITH MY FLOATING RIB. YOUR FLOATING RIB IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD UR WHOLE BODY WEIGHT LIKE I WAS DOIN.

SO THE RESULT WAS ME BRUISING MY RIB..WHICH IS PRETTY TYPICAL AND SOMETHING THAT HURTS BUT IS TOTALLY LIVE ABLE...SO I CONTINUED TO WORK EVEN THOUGH I WAS HURTING THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. BUT WHEN I WALKED INTO REHEARSAL THIS LAST SATURDAY THE DANCE WAS REQUIRING BACKHANDSPRINGS, AND BACK LAYOUTS AND MORE PARTNERING WHICH REALLY STARTED STRAINING ON MY RIB.. IN RESULT I ENDED UP GETTING A SLIGHT FRACTURE IN MY RIB AND THE CARTILAGE SURROUNDING THE BONE WAS STARTING TO PULL AWAY..WHICH IS THE REASON OF MOST OF MY PAIN.

THE DOCTOR WAS SAD TO INFORM ME THAT WITH RIBS, THERES NOT ALOT HE CAN DO BUT SAY REST. I CANT WRAP (BECAUSE IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR LUNGS FULL BREATHING-RESULT GETTING SICK) , HEATING AND COOLING DOESNT REALLY HELP. AND THERES NO MEDICINE THAT WILL HELP EITHER. ALL YOU CAN DO IS REST AND LET IT HEAL ON ITS OWN!!!

SO HIS ONLY INSTRUCTION IS THAT I HAVE TO TAKE A WEEK OFF TO GIVE IT TIME TO HEAL WITH ABSOLUTELY NO MOTION.

---THE BAD NEWS......I WILL BE IN PAIN FOR AT LEAST 4-6 MORE WEEKS TILL ITS ALL THE WAY HEALED. AND I CANT DANCE THIS WEEK WITH MY PARTNER!!!

---THE GOOD NEWS...I CANT REALLY INJURE IT ANY WORSE AS LONG AS IM NOT STUPID HAHA. AND HE SAYS I WILL BE ABLE TO DANCE NEXT WEEK, IT WILL JUST HURT AND BOTHER ME!! BUT I CAN TOTALLY DEAL WITH ALITTLE BIT OF PAIN!!

HONESTLY THE HARDEST THING FOR ME IS THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO SIT THIS WEEK OUT, IF I HAD IT MY WAY ....I WOULD JUST TOUGH IT OUT, BUT THATS NOT FAIR TO MY PARTNER!!!.....BUT GET READY

CAUSE NEXT WEEK ILL BE FIRE........I HAVE 6 MORE DAYS OF ACHEING TO GET BACK OUT ON THAT DANCE FLOOR!!

LOVE YA
