I promised I wouldn’t start a thread on this.
But she doesn’t read, so I’m doing it anyway.
She’s in Newsies at the moment at the Community theatre.
Wednesdays show she slipped on stage during the big dance scene.
Yep, you guessed. She broke herself.
After urgent care, the ER the next day. X-rays and a scan it was determined she broke her hip. She had surgery to pin it back together Saturday morning.
It went well. The Ortho surgeon said she’ll heal really quickly and have a good outcome.
But, man oh, man has she been the little monster since we got her home. Even Ivy threw her hands up.
My older sister is coming tomorrow. I predict she’s gonna straighten her out.
Now we just need to get her through this night without too much drama.
I can’t believe it’s been 8 hours with no responses…
C’mon folks…this is our Beck we’re talkin’ 'bout here!
Well, actually, I suppose it’s not our Beck–it’s more about the littlest Beck…
And she ain’t no monster… I just know it.
Not when she got done raised up in a houseful of 'wrecks. And with all them animals, tool
Nah…she’ll be fine,. She ain’t got no choice.
Otherwise her mom will call in Bigfoot to take care of her…
She’s 23.
Kind of a klutzy dancer. ( I tried folks, it’s her weakest talent in the theatre arts)
I don’t think her character had a name, if it did I never heard her say.
She recently starred in “Little Shop of Horrors” and did a walking show for local festivals. Did auditions in Branson. She’s really spreading her self out thin. I didn’t want her to do Newsies because it was a smallish part. But as a young adult with her own ideas about things I’m not her first consideration in decision making.
I’ve never been to a theater production where there was an emergency on stage, but it’s gotta be distressing for both the actor and the audience. More so the actor I’m sure, but even the audience is jarred from their pleasant state of voluntary suspension of disbelief one moment to the harsh reality that, damn, someone got hurt/sick on stage in front of a room full of people that were carefully watching what just transpired.
People said the audience thought it was part of the dance.
Maybe she’s a prat fall prodigy. Hmmm?
At least she fell gracefully altho’ landed with a thud.
I wasn’t at this performance. But she must have carried it off good.
A guy from the audience came backstage after they got her there. He was a physical therapist. He thought she pulled a muscle🤔
I was on the phone with her at the time. I said go to the ER now!!
I must have said it to her, her boyfriend, her stage manager, a dance partner at least 100 times.
She came home.
Had to go in very early. The ER sent her to urgent care because they thought it was a muscle pull. Back to the ER later because she couldn’t bear any weight at all. They said possibly a femur crack, after they finally did an X-ray.
They then sent her to the Ortho clinic. Doctor there found the crack in her pelvic saddle, after a scan.
He sends her to the surgeon. Who passed her off to another surgeon who was on-call for weekend surgery, unless she wanted to lay around writhing in pain til his surgery day, which would be tomorrow (Tuesday).
I’m beginning to wonder about the medical community around here.
Is your last name “Weaver” by any chance? Our family has a famous (or infamous) Whammy that causes family members to embrace catastrophes with alarming regularity.
Poor Li’l Wrekker really hit the pain jackpot, and on a weekend, too! Bone pain is one of the worst, and I hope she scored some of the good stuff.
A busted arm or busted leg means at least six weeks in a cast. A busted butt means she gets actual hardware to put her pieces back together, and then they want her up and moving around! Put in a good word for your kid at the Haunted Therapy Castle, and score her a cute therapist. And keep her far, far away from your therapist from Hell.
Poor kid! Even when they are grown, you still think of them as your babies!
No that is mid-dau who’s here all the time.
Big Sister has a big ol’ galloop of a mix breed. Dumb as as a door knob but sweet. Bayliss will be happy to see her.
@BigT , the lil’wrekkers part was a “Bowery Beauty”
She comes on stage after 4 beats into the dance, stage left. She’s wearing a nuns habit. She rips it off* and joins the burlesque type dance.
I personally hemmed this nuns habit.
I may have, MAY have left one part a bit long.
She claims the heel of the shoe caught in it and might have made her fall.
There is a video of the event. I’m waiting on substantiated proof.
*Yes she’s dressed in the burly-Q outfit under there.
So she was a prostrate nun before she was a defrocked (de-habited) nun? Cause if it happened while she was ripping - then she wasn’t ripping right. And if it happened after the defrocklement, then she can’t blame it on her bad habit.
