What a difference...

What a difference a sport makes!

AC, gymnastics: ANY injury to upper or lower limbs ==> 6 weeks out minimum, no activity, maybe PT.

Linnea, rowing: broken foot ==> 6 DAYS post break she is cleared to be back in the boat.

Let me tell you. Even though she could not move off the exam table, she did a spectacular Linnea (upper body only) happy dance. She was SO freaking thrilled. The PA was smiling so hard to see her! He knew he'd made her day, LOL.

I'll point out that AC fractured her 4th metatarsal (Linnea's is the 5th) and she was out the full 6 weeks.

She isn't going to Western Regionals, alas, but it means she's still a possible for Nationals. Even if she doesn't make it, it still means she has a chance, which is all she is really hoping for.

Whee!

And yeah, she needed a small boot.
