DWC Day 2: Orbit - Illusion
"In the blink of an eye, my world was upended.
After my fall, the busted leg was bandaged and thought to be on the mend but after extensive study it appeared that the tendon was also torn, adding to my projected downtime.
Instead of performing and attending parties, I was bedridden for months on end, and at first, I thought I would go mad with nothing to do.
The first month was awful, Drissa was already tired of the constant pity party and took great pains to remind me that I'd survived worse and came out strong, that my situation is only as bad as I let it be.
So, I spent the rest of my downtime reading, journaling, and meeting with my Therapist to work through the trauma that landed me in bed in the first place. Doing all I can to move past this great lingering fear and the illusion that it can control me.
Now, I feel strong both mentally and physically.
I feel ready to take charge again."
Lux spoke to her agent matter-of-factly, stating in her case that it was time she returned to work. It had now been five years since she had performed, tons of physical therapy and rounds of healing, a slow road to get her back to dancing without pain. It was time.
(This is my attempt to explain her absence because between health issues and the new job, I've been negative spoons. But I'm doing good, health is a day-to-day but manageable, the job is the best...I actually miss it on my days off. I have resubbed and look forward to getting Lux back out for Tarts events and the like. See you soon!)
