My friend Dana's in the hospital right now.
We were rehearsing our dances for the showcase we have tomorrow. And as one of the dances was ending, the risers that were against the back wall fell. It landed straight on Dana's leg. We all hear the crash, Dana was hopping on one foot, before she fell to the ground. I rush to the stage, and see that there's like blood. I grabbed the first aid kit and ran. Dana was sobbing. The entire foot of her dance tights were covered in blood and there was some pooling on the ground.
The girls were freaking out, hell i was freaking out. But i told every one to move away. No one knew what to do, i had an idea but i was so scared that i kinda sat for a minute to calm down. some one grabbed a chair. we elevated her leg. I put pressure on where i thought the cut might be, but the tights and blood were covering everything. i put on some gloves and used some scissors to cut off her tights. dude, that cut was so deep. I cleaned as much blood as i could from around the cut. then put some gauze and tape on it.
Everyone cleared the stage but dana, ashley and i stayed with her till the ambulance got there.
Dana's an amazing dancer, and the only thing she kept saying was that she hoped this didn't stop her from dancing tomorrow. :) she's crazy like that.
at the hospital, when the doctor told her she would be on crutches for about 2 weeks, that she wasn't going to be able to dance, she just started sobbing. I felt horrible for her. she loves dancing so much and we've been working on these dances for months.
its nothing that did permanent damage but it was enough.
the dancers and i are just praying that she'll be fine.
i just feel so bad that this happened the night before, she was soo looking forward to it...
