This routine was for my first choreographed showcase performance (it’s not the smoothest but I’m still proud, considering I only had a week to put it together) It also finally marks a full year of me doing Aerial hoop (for context I have background in rhythmic gymnastics and contortion)
In future I plan to polish this into a cleaner routine.

I started aerials in November and loved it. I went 4 or 5 times per week. Two weeks ago in straps I fractured my humerus and paralyzed my radial nerve exiting a back flag too quickly. Prognosis is near 100% recovery over several months, but my work has suffered, my friends had to upend their lives to care for me - if it hadn't been for my boss's goodwill I would have had nobody to pick me up from surgery (been married 9 years but husband couldn't take time off of work). Tl;dr, I can't be injured like this again.
At first I told everyone I'd never go back to aerial. I was adamant. But over the past few days I have really been unhappy. This is something I have wanted to do for a decade. I was good at it. I loved it. I wondered if this was just a freak accident or the result of being advanced too quickly. Maybe it could be avoided.
Am I crazy and selfish for wanting to go back?
I found a place to learn and I don't know what kind of clothes to get, or anything else I might need.
I'm looking for recommendations for books (or maybe podcasts and video), by aerialists talking about how they managed their training and mindset during pregnancy.
For more specific context I don't need the basic fitness, safety and health portion as I'm a pre/post-natal health coach myself so I'm comfortable with what is safe and healthy for pregnancy and exercise. I'm mostly looking for other aerialists just talking through what the process looked like for them and how they managed their training without feeling stuck or limited. And just to be able to see examples of different experiences partly to make myself feel less frustrated about things like losing my invert lol
