So I went to my regular Thursday dance class today and a two songs in my ankle started feeling really stiff and a bit sore. I tried dancing a couple more songs but it just kept getting worse and I was making mistakes. My teachers usually tell me I'm one of the best in the class and are actually thinking of having me in one of their shows. fourth song in I was making more mistakes because of the pain and discomfort and it was throwing off my balance so I quit for the day.
I don't remember doing anything that would have hurt it but it turns out that I have pulled the ligaments in my ankle. It's a good thing this was the last class until we start up again in January because now I have to stay off my ankle for probably three or four weeks to let it heal up properly. So I guess this means I'll have a lot more time at home to devote to my writing for a while, well as long as the pain doesn't drive me crazy first and my laptop holds out.

What sort of dancing do you do?
I used to love Belly Dancing but am too stiff any more.
Dancing
I'd love to try belly dancing some day. The type of dance is classified as line dance but very little of it is that country style that line dance is known for. My boyfriend Martin is one of the teachers actually and he's a choreographer as well. We do different choreographies based on ballroom styles, some ballet moves, and a variety of other styles.
One of my favourite choreographies is based on a Michale Jackson song and I'm the only one in the class who can keep up for the whole song. Martin is also working on a waltz/ballet inspired dance to the song 'Together' by the Pet Shop Boys. I was a bit nervous when I started that I would be terrible but Martin says if I keep progressing like I am he'll want to put me in one of his advanced classes soon.
Don't take me too seriously. I'm just kitten around. :3
Keep gentle exercise
going but watch the weight bearing stuff. Ligaments are non-elastic tissue and don't like being stretched. Healing will depend upon amount of damage done and will probably take 6-8 weeks.

Yep
I'm trying to gently work it once in a while but putting any weight on it is sheer hell. Well at least I'll have plenty of time for writing.

Looks like...
...you've already found the proverbial silver lining to the cloud, with new chapters of both your DRU stories now published :)
Keep warm, keep well, keep writing :D
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
I guess
You could say that. I'll also be posting the new Winter's Child once I do a grammar check. :)
