Gymnastics is so up and down and fraught with emotion. The past two years my dd has been injured just before meet season and not competed well. We thought all was finally well until a bad landing led to knee pain and MRIs and more stress fractures being discovered.
She is competing only bars this week at the first meet of the season, after having a really nice tsuk pike ready to go and some lovely skills on floor and beam. I hope she will be rested enough to compete everything by February, but who knows?
The good news is with a little more age, my dd is taking it better this time. I hate that she works so hard and was looking for good, just to have this happen again. But she isn't ready to stop gym, and she still works super hard every day, on what she can do.
I never thought I would feel so mellow about maybe missing the season.
