Dancer Down! Harmony Broke His Damn Foot!
Donation protected
I broke my foot, y'all! :(
I have fractured the 2nd metatarsal in my right foot, and the doctor has ordered me to rest for two months. This is not an exciting concept for me, this whole resting for two months thing. As somebody who spends most of his life on his feet, who makes a living on his feet, this is an unfortunate setback that I am not prepared for.
Here's the good news: I'm not in pain, I do have insurance, and in 3-4 weeks I'll start receiving disability checks. I'm choosing to see this forced down-time as an opportunity to reflect, learn new hobbies, and maybe consider what other lines of work might look like for me. (Suggestions are welcomed.)
In the meantime, I am asking my community and chosen family for some financial assistance. For most of March I'll have no income flowing my way; and while my instinct is to silently deal with the stress of this alone, I'm choosing instead to embrace the strength in vulnerability and ask for help. I am grateful to have an abundance of community in my life, and that I can feel seen and supported by so many people that I love.
Much love and thanks in advance to all who are able to help.
