Well its been 10n days and we were back to the DR today. Was hoping he would let her start to do leaps and maybe tumble. I haven't really seen it as she was wearing a support on it but it is definitly black and blue - looks worse than I think it is.
Dr was really moving it around and examining it. He said it is a bruise but a bad bruise it may take another 4 weeks before it is pain free and than it still may not be Soooooo she won't be competing this weekend - she was really counting on it being well enough to compete. she doesn't need the ace bandage on the knee anymore he has allowed her to do dance moves but no leaps, or tumbling. She can try some small jumps on to a spring board and then on to the floor - no running to it though just to see how it feels if there is pain then stop.
She can do bars but no dismount. she can do the dance moves on floor but no leaps or tumbling (doesn't leave too much after that) she can practice the "fluff" moves on beam and her turns but no leaps or tumbling and no vault. She can practice on the bar that dismounts into the foam pit.
We go back in 2 weeks to see how she is then now hoping she will be able to compete on 12/10 if not then then by the meet o n 12/17. I think my DD will end up doing things so she can compete on 12/17 at least even if the DR says don't. You know how these gymnasts push themselves.
Basicly anything she can tolerate without pain she is ok to do. I swear a bone bruise takes longer to heal than a broken bone.
