Is there anyone out there who has had themselves or has a dancer friend with the same expierience? All I've heard before the inccident is that this injury is a dancer's worst nightmare.I've been on crutches for a month and I have to have reconstructive surgury. Does anyone know of some sort of dance therapy that I can employ along with physical therapy I will be undergoing post-op.Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. You can imagine the shock of dancing 4-5 times a week, then suddenly forced to get around on crutches!        Thanks,Thomas J.
