Shattered dreams

Sweet Lana,
I hope you will be able to continue your dance classes and do whatever sports you like to do. The specialist said there's quite some oedema in your knee and he would like to have you in for a bone scan, on top of the NMR scan. He wants to make sure there are no other problems...
We went to the store to order a device to protect your knee while dancing. It will be in by Friday and I hope it will be sufficient to help you out. I really do not want to shatter your dreams. I know how much you like to dance and it's so hard to make you understand that it is so important to take care of your body, to prevent damage. You cannot understand it right now, the only thing you hear is, that the doctor wants you to slow down and take it easy. I hope you will be smart enough to stop dancing when you feel it's hurting too much. Maybe I should talk to your dance teacher and ask her to keep an eye on you...
