Lately I have been going to Zumba and I love it!! Now, if you don't know what Zumba is let me explain it a bit. Zumba is a dance exercise, it is Latin inspired but still has flares of hip hop and other types of dance. I go Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and dance my tail off for an hour. The two instructors are awesome at it. I have really been trying to get in better shape for my trip to Haiti, and just in general. But...my Zumba days have stopped...at least for a few weeks.
When I was just a young pup in grade school I twisted my knee, forever causing soft tissue damage. If I turn wrong my knee cap pops out of place and then instantly back in. Yes, you are right it is excruciating! It happens about every two years (depending on how active I am being.) Well, it happened on Monday during Zumba. While I was doing a spin in one of the songs BAM! I found myself on the floor in indescribable pain. I was so embarrassed! Some people helped me to the chairs and I text Matt to come get it. It was the worst feeling EVER!
Monday night I could not walk, Matt got me snacks, drinks, fluffed the pillow, and even unloaded and loaded the dishwasher. I stayed home from work on Wednesday. It is feeling better but I still cannot straighten it all the way.
I am heart broken that I have to take a break from Zumba and keep finding myself wondering if I'll ever be able to do it as hard as I want to. I will start wearing a knee brace like I am supposed to and I am praying that will help, I guess I'll have to wait and see.
