Sometimes I really do hate gymnastics. My DD, for those of you who remember, has really struggled with the sport as she has gotten older. Has always loved it, but has gone through her "quitting" phases, went back to it, and on and on.
So... she is now competing Level 7 and has been really working hard. Qualified to states her first meet (whoo hoo), has been progressing nicely. She's ALSO been competing on her high school team, so she's been really, really busy. Not to mention schoolwork on top of all of this!
Well... she has a meet coming up this weekend. The ONE meet she has really been looking forward to all season long. And what happens??? It seems she has some kind of hip injury...at first we thought it was just a pulled groin muscle.... now I'm not so sure. She's seeing a Dr. tomorrow. It started off as a nagging, sharp pain last week. She rested for a few days, went to practice and midway it started hurting again. She rested it again adn went back to practice last night. Wasn't even there an hour before she had an ice pack strapped to her hip joint again. Ugh . . . Someone mentioned maybe it was a hip flexor injury. We'll find out soon enough. In the meantime she's very disappointed about the weekend meet, and you know what? So am I!!! Bars doesn't seem to bother her, so maybe she'll just do that and scratch the other events. At any rate, we'll go to cheer on her teammates.
