So my daughters' good friend broke both ankles at the gym Tuesday night. I was on pick up duty and she actually fell just as I came in. I missed the fall but saw the rolling on the ground. She actually told my daughter right after that she was fine and was moving feet around. Well coaches and athletic trainer, who happened to be there that night, checked her out. Ice, elevate, ect. She was on the floor for probably 30 min. Then they carried her to my van. I could see the swelling from about 30ft away! Her parents decided to wait until the next day as it was 9 at night. Xrays revealed 4 breaks on left and 2 on right. She is expected to heal well and hasn't been in much pain. She plans to do Halloween sleepover at the gym tomorrow, and went to her last volleyball game in wheelchair where her teammates wore her number on their sleeves.
Anyway, gymnasts are tough cookies!
By the way she landed "off" from a whipback heading into a back tuck.
