111 Backers and €5050 !!!! Absolutely amazing. Thank you all so much. Your donations will help me get back on my dancing feet, baby step at a time.

Good news from the specialist visit in Lyon. No surgery needed, just patience!

It was great to have a second opinion to set my mind at ease. Now that I know I dont need surgery, I can focus on rehab without worrying I risk damaging the pelvic structure. He said the tissue surrounding the fractures will protect the bones as they heal. He said to expect 6 months before I can get back into dance. That was hard to hear as in my mind I was thinking 6 weeks max, but I have to accept the fact that if I rush back too soon I could set my recovery back.

It was good to look at the scans from the night of the accident as I had not been able to see them in detail at the hospital. He showed me the extent of the fractures, including the sacrum sectioned from above. I had not realised quite how displaced that break was. We noticed my lower right rib in the back was fractured too which explains a few things in the pain department. All in all good news. I just have to be patient. Not my strong point, but I'm getting better at letting go and going slow...I think. (Not sure my husband would agree!!)

Physio is going well and this week I will stop using crutches. I'll be celebrating when the wheelchair and crutches go back to where they came from. Mobility wise I feel more comfortable being on the floor for Pilates and being on my feet to cook etc. Long as I dont push things I can feel improvements daily.

Thank you so much for following these updates. Knowing you are out there supporting really means the world to me.

Love

Sam
