This is my first time touching thebars since my injury my arm is still not straight but im excited to finally be on the bars again (my favorite/and best event) Ive also grown about 3 inches in the 7 months that ive been out so it was a little difficult figuring things outagain but this ismy first kip and tap swings in a long time!
oh and these arealso brand new grips...I got them for chrstmas from an old family friend who was a gymnast and since ive been outsince the end of october this was my first chanceto use them! This was just I guess you could say a little brag but I was soo excited theother night!

Really nice, glad to see that you have handled your growth and injury so well. Tenacity is a great characteristic for a gymnast.

Thanks so much. I also want to apologize for poating this thing twice, I got a little confused on what website I was on Im very sorry!

Congrats! That must feel sooo good! There's a girl on my team who broke her elbow last year. Her arm still isn't quite straight, but she competed level 8 on it all last year. She's a real inspiration to us, as I'm sure you are to your team!

thanks gymnastsgets10 and I wish I could be more inspiringto my team, expecially the young ones we had two other girls dislocate there elbows after I did mine and the one ended up quiting due to fear and since she was 7 she healed much quicker then I did and the other 8 is finally healed and just started coming back, and she is always talking to me and always watching me and that makes me feel so good!

Thank You soo much! I hoping the last ofthis injury Ill here about will be after this surgery im getting within the next few weeks and then the surgery only has a 2 week recovery time and back to physical therapy in 1 week after surgery. Im just glad to be doing anything!

Way to go! Getting to come back after an injury is always so exciting, good for you for sticking with it through all the boring stuff. Wishing you lots of luck in getting skills back and learning new ones!

Congratulations! Seven months is a long time, but I hope you pick up bars quickly
I've always found it funny how when gym is intense you might wish you weren't there, but as soon as you stop going or are on a break you want it back so bad. I'm glad that your able to come back to your favorite event!
