High kicks? Probably not. Dancing around the stage like she does now? Absolutely, withing a few months post-op. I think the world could deal with "no Stevie Nicks!" for that amount of time, don't you? |
Your information is accurate, of course. However, there are those times when recovery takes longer. I speak from personal experience, and I wish that you could accept that. Not everyone falls into that simple set of medical data. You, nor I, know the extent of Stevie's medical conditions. No one, but Stevie knows that. It would be impossible for her to ever go back to high kicks, and Charlestons. That is the truth. Sorry, but the 1975-1986 Stevie is gone. In her place is a woman who is tired and is doing her best.
As a dancer, myself, I am only 25 and my joints, muscles, and bones are no longer what they once were. I could only imagine what 35 more years would do to me.
She no longer wears her, "boots all summer long" anymore. We can no longer look to her and ask that of her.
This thread is almost silly. No one knows her personally, or has any medical information about her. So why go on any further?
