WAG Sophia Update 27 Days POST OP

[lovofu]

So, off we went to see the surgeon, 27 days post deltoid ligament reattachment surgery. She was casted for 13 days, then non weightbearing for a week but still in a boot, last week weight bearing in a boot. We used the exogen 4000 bone stimulator and today, JUST 27 DAYS post op, she was cleared to work into full gym again, no hard landings for 3 more weeks but she can do beam, vault etc. Never thought when she was injured on 7 October, surgery on 18 Oct that 21 November she could get her life back. Good news and all this upper body and core conditioning has transformed her strength! Thank GOODNESS for amazing ankle surgeon!!

I must have missed the injury post but that is awesome news! wow! so many of our upper level optionals are hurt/injured and I know it can take quite some time to heal. So glad your girl is having a fast recovery. More healing vibes coming her way. And yes, one good thing is that they can condition the heck out of the healthy portion of their bodies.

Congrats! Is she seeing a PT and has the PT cleared her? Orthopeds are famous for clearing gymnasts long before they are ready to actually get back.
