Oops!

It was bound to happen. Ice skating for hours a day while doing rigorous online schooling is bound to make for an accident.
I found our granddaughter in a boot while dancing and singing in one of her daily TikTok videos. I figured she was using an old boot from when she fractured her heel, or the time she wore a boot when she broke her ankle in 6 places.
So I called her daddy. Sure enough, she sprained her ankle during practice. The doctor allowed her to skate, but she must wear her boot when off the ice. The doctor said nothing about dancing.
Just another oops for her and not too bad. Thank goodness!

Oh gosh! Well, injuries in skating happen all the time . . . thank goodness it's just a sprain. If she is still allowed to skate, then I suspect she must be mostly ok. Having the old boot on will at least remind her to keep babying that ankle for now, even if she does dance around.4 people like this

@jdbces It's fun for some, but not for me! 
. I haven't put on skates since I was a kid and teenager.
She skates competitively and has been working with Olympic coaches for several years now. She is 12 and has been skating since she was 3 years old. She's very, very good.

She is okay and getting better daily. She texted me a while ago that she had a great practice on the ice and was able to complete all her jumps. Now she is doing online schooling at the ice rink and will practice after school. She's a trooper!

Thanks. We are, too. Her and her silly TikTok dancing videos. She is so funny.
She texted us that she had her coaching and practiced her jumping at the ice rink first thing this morning and it didn't hurt her. Now she is doing her online schooling and will practice again before Mom picks her up.
I hope your back is doing better today.

With my current ankle situation I feel for her! At least she hurt hers while doing something she likes--well maybe not 'like' training but skating!

@DianneN You are right since I have heard the horror stories of ice skaters having foot injuries.
