I am the most ungraceful girl ever. As luck would have it, I tripped down my porch stairs, rolled my ankle, and landed on top of it. So now I have badly sprained my ankle and am on crutches.My doctor told me that I should not return to dancing until my ankle feels healed. What really sucks is this same thing has happened to me before (same ankle too) and I was out of work for close to a month. But back then I hardly had any bills so I could comfortably take a month off. But now I have an astronomical amount of bills, and feel really stuck. Injuring yourself is like the suckiest thing about this job -you're basically screwed. Or well, I am. Funny thing is, my boss actually told me that I could still work! When I told him I was on crutches he said "so you could still work, some guys think crutches are sexy." Uh, yeah right.
Our club is very very lax so we can dance barefoot if we like, which will be better for my ankle, and get me back to work quicker but I cant dance barefoot. I am only 5'0 and my heels give me some height and thin me out, so I absolutely need them. With Christmas next month and everything, this is just killer. What awful timing I have. I have some money in the bank but I was really trying so hard to save my cash for the future. If I take that money out, I'll feel even more discouraged. I really want to avoid that at all costs. The only bill I might be able to escape is my car payment, since I pay an extra monthly fee for "disability insurance," but even trying to get that to cover me right now is nearly impossible. The insurance people are having me go through SO much just to get this stupid insurance that I pay $17. extra dollars for every month! My doctor, the hospital, my boss, and myself have to fill out this huge form. It's like, is this insurance even worth it? This whole thing sucks and I'm up shit's creek! Have any of you girls ever sprained/broken anything, and what did you do? Did you still dance? Did you work somewhere else? How did you pay for your bills? I could really use some good advice right now. ???
