First real gymnastics injury after 7 years in the sport so I suppose I can't complain. Fractured 4th metatarsal on her right foot (BWO-BHS on beam. Missed.). She is in a boot with crutches today and is going to the ortho for a cast tomorrow. I could hardly even see it when dr. pointed it out to me on the xray so I'm telling myself that it can't be too bad. I'm just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and what the healing time/process was like? Of course, if there is a "good" time to have an injury, this is it, but still, she has been so excited about the new skills she has been getting, or ones she was "this close" to getting, plus there's gymnastics camp at the end of June, etc. etc. etc. Feeling very sad for her.
She also hurt her finger during the same fall. Not broken (they xrayed that too), but badly bruised, so she is pretty limited in what she'll be able to do in the gym till she can at least use her hand again.
