Umdanso Usize Lo wesifazane Ukubuyisa Umzimba Wakhe Ngemuva Kokulahlekelwa Yindodana Yakhe
-Delile
UKosolu Ananti uhlale ethanda ukuhambisa umzimba wakhe. Ukukhula ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-80s, i-aerobics kwakuyijamu yakhe. Njengoba ukusebenza kwakhe kuguquka, waqala ukwenza ukuqeqeshwa kwamandla amaningi ne-cardio, kepha wayehlala ethola indlela yokungena ezindaweni ezimbalwa zokudansa phakathi. Ngo-2014, waba ngumqeqeshi oqeqeshiwe womuntu siqu, wabe esekhulelwa-futhi konke kwashintsha. (Funda indlela i-ballet eyasiza ngayo omunye wesifazane ukuba aphinde axhumane nomzimba wakhe.)
"Kusukela ekuqaleni, ngangazi ukuthi kukhona okungalungile," kusho uKosolu, odlula eKasa, etshela. Umumo. "Ngangopha kakhulu, kodwa njalo uma ngiya esibhedlela noma ngivakashela i-ob-gyn yami, babengitshela ukuthi ukukhulelwa kwami kusekhona."
Ngesikhathi esenezinyanga eziyisithupha ehambile, uKasa wayesethathe isikhathi esiningi engasebenzi ngenxa yokuya kudokotela nokuvakashelwa izibhedlela eziphuthumayo. Wayekhathazekile ngokuthi uma eqhubeka nokungabibikho emsebenzini kwakungase kumlahlekisele ngomsebenzi. Ngakho-ke ngolunye usuku, lapho ezwa ukucindezelwa okungavamile, wanquma ukudlula kukho, ecabanga ukuthi cishe yonke into yayihamba kahle, njengoba kwakunjalo ngazo zonke izikhathi ngaphambili.
Ngemva kokuba nobuhlungu isikhashana futhi ebona amabala, wanquma ukuya esibhedlela, lapho bamtshela khona ukuthi wayesikwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi. "Ngesikhathi ngingena, ngase nginwetshiwe ngo-2cm," kusho uKasa.
Wahlala esibhedlela izinsuku ezimbili, enethemba lokugcina ingane isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngosuku lwesithathu, wabeletha indodana yakhe nge-C-section ephuthumayo.
Indodana yakhe yayingakabi yisikhathi kakhulu, kodwa izinto zazihamba kahle. “Ubenyakaza kakhulu, amehlo evulekile-okwenze sacabanga ukuthi sinalo ithuba,” kusho uKasa. Kodwa ngemuva kwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa uKasa nomyeni wakhe bevakashele indodana yabo eNICU, izitho zakhe zaqala ukwehluleka futhi wadlula emhlabeni.
"Besingakholwa," kusho uKasa. "Yize besazi ukuthi kufanele sixwaye, besinethemba elikhulu, okwenza ukulahlekelwa kwakhe kubonakale njengokushaqisayo."
Ezinyangeni ezintathu ezalandela, uKasa wayelahlekile. Uthi: "Ngangingasazizwa ngifana nami." "Bengingafuni ukuya ndawo noma ngenze noma yini futhi kunezikhathi lapho bengifisa ukuthi ngingavuki. Kodwa bengazi ukuthi kufanele ngithole indlela yokuphila ngandlela thile." (Related: Nakhu Impela Okwenzeka Ngathi Ngiphuphunyelwa Yisisu)
U-Kasa uzithole ekhala izinyembezi ezingalawuleki ngemva kokubuka ukuthengiswa kwamanabukeni ezinsana. “Ngazizwa ngidabukile futhi ngabona ukuthi kufanele ngisukume ngenze okuthile, uma kungengenxa yami ukuze ngikhumbule indodana yami,” usho kanje. "Ngangiphansi kakhulu, ngase ngizuze amakhilogremu angu-25 futhi ngangingenzi lutho ukuya phambili."
Ngakho-ke, uthathe isinqumo sokwenza lokho abefisa ukukwenza eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule: ukuziqalela inkampani yakhe yokulolonga umdanso. “Ngihlale ngifuna ukwenza okuthile okuhlanganisa uthando lwami lomdanso nokuqina futhi ngacabanga umqondo we-afrikoPOP emuva ngo-2014,” kusho uKasa. "Njengesizukulwane sokuqala sase-Afrika saseMelika, bengifuna ukudala into ehlanganisa umdanso waseNtshonalanga Afrika ngokuqeqeshwa okunamandla."

Ngemva kokuthola konke okucace bha kudokotela wakhe, uKasa waqala ukuklama ikilasi. “Kusukela ngoJanuwari, ngabelane ne-afrikoPOP namakhulu abantu futhi impendulo nothando kuyamangalisa,” usho kanje. (Amakilasi ayatholakala endaweni yaseDallas – Fort Worth okwamanje.)
Ngokuzikhandla lapho, ukujaha iphupho lakhe, nokufunda ukujabulela ukuzivocavoca futhi, uKasa ufunde ukuthanda nokwamukela umzimba wakhe kulandela ukulahlekelwa yindodana yakhe. "Ukushona kwezingane kuvame kakhulu kunalokho obungacabanga, kodwa maningi amahloni azungezile," kusho uKasa. "Uzithola usubuza ukuthi kwenzenjani ngawe? Wonke umuntu ubukeka ethola abantwana kahle nje, kungani wena ungeke?"
Kodwa ukuqala kwe-afrikoPOP kwenza uKasa wabona ukuthi okwenzekile bekungelona iphutha lakhe. "Bengingakaze ngitshele muntu ngokwenzekile endodaneni yami, futhi ukubuyisa umzimba wami nokuzethemba kuphinde kwangenza ngabona ukuthi kulungile ukukhuluma ngendaba yami," usho kanje. "Abesifazane abaningi beza nezindaba ezifanayo, okungenza ngibone nakakhulu ukuthi angingedwa."
Namuhla, uKasa ukhulelwe futhi ngaphandle kwezinkinga. "Ngifuna abesifazane bazi ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukulalela umzimba wakho, ukhulelwe noma cha," kusho uKasa. "Ngokuqondene nendodana yami, iyisilwi sami, iqhawe lami ingelosi engibhekile futhi ngibonga uNkulunkulu ngempilo yayo. Umoya wakhe uyangicindezela kulolu hambo. Uyangigcina ngidansa."
