ankle update
My posterior tibial tendon still functions, but has longitudinal tears in several places.
The orthopedist at Harkness Center for Dance Injuries, who saw me two years ago when this problem first surfaced, recommended surgery since the situation has only worsened since the initial injury in 2009.
Despite feeling that surgery is No Fun At All, I am definitely on board for this plan and am beginning to make arrangements. It’s nice to be able to plan it, unlike my previous orthopedic surgeries, which were done under far more painful and urgent circumstances.
If I’m able to schedule things as I desire, I should be back in action and possibly even able to perform my dance solo (I’ve been curated into a festival at the Joyce SoHo for April 2012) in the spring.
Stay tuned!
