In the Studio Again!

I'm back as promised!

So I filled you in on my morning now I have to cover everything that has happened after school.
I have been working with Dede Hatch and Cayuga Medical Center to cover my story from surgery through recovery. My surgeon Dr. Wilson is new to Ithaca, and a pretty big deal. He is an amazing surgeon and has done so much research and community work that Ithaca is lucky to have him. Because he is new to town, CMC wanted to cover a surgery from start to finish. So Dede and Julie,the reporter, were in the operating room the day of my surgery, have been to two physical therapy appointments, and now to the studio with me. Today they had to take the final picture for the article, for the poster, and yes possibly the one that could be on the side of a T-CAT bus!
It was really fun to be able to show off what I could do, and I hope that they got some good shots, but it was also slightly disheartening. Dede kept asking me to "just dance" and I was at a total loss as to what to do. Before surgery I would have had no problem coming up with moves or poses to show her. But because I still am so limited in what I can and can not do, I felt like I was standing around like I had never set foot on a dance floor in my life! I was embarrassed and flustered and just totally overwhelmed and all I wanted to do was get out of there. My mom read my face the moment she walked into the studio and saw that I was unhappy. I know that I should have been excited to show off how far I have come and how much I can do, but it had almost the opposite affect, it made me more aware of just how much I still can't do. But no one said that this process was going to be easy, you have to take the good days with the bad!

Now for homework and sleep!
