I handed you the keys twenty posts or so upthread...what you do with them is your business as long as the bar is stocked and the cleaning is done.

Well guys think good thoughts for my daughter today and tomorrow. Her first match was not what she wanted or needed it to be. She turned her ankle when leaving for the airport on Sunday and it swelled and bruised. She found it hard to shoot. We are hoping for a better result tomorrow but it looks like she is out of the race for the National Team this year
So raise your glasses and toast her, wishing her luck tomorrow.
Dammit, Dammit, Dammit.
Today she shot a 98 string followed by a 95 string and my husband said he thought she was going to shoot not only a personal best but a high 380's. However, that foot/ankle injury she had was too much for her. She said the pain was so bad after the first two strings that she had to move her foot which put her position out of focus and dropped her score to a 371/400. It put her in 10th place over all and out of the National Team, developmental team and junior team.
She is really bummed out to say the least.
I feel so bad and wish I was there to give her a big hug but am so damn proud of her for doing as well as she did in the pain she is in. A real trooper.

All I have is more dammits and a few other choice swear words.
She came home last night and hobbled off the plane. Just looking at her foot in her crocs you could see it was swollen. Brought her home and took off her sock and saw the swelling and the bright blue bruising. It looked like an injury she received yesterday not a week ago. I knew it meant trouble.
Woke her up early and dragged her tired little butt to the sport med clinic at 7 am. The doctor only confirmed what I already kinda knew. Her injury looks serious. He believes she may have ruptured her muscle in her foot. His fear is that it could cause her to become flat footed. He put her in a back slab cast with strict instructions not to put any weight on it for the next four to six weeks and has ordered an MRI to see how bad the damage is. She is to return in two weeks.
All this and her new shooting equipment is arriving next week and she won't be able to use it for a long time.
She is pretty bummed to say the least.
Seeing the injury and understanding the extent of it only makes me prouder of how well she handled the situation and how strong she is for toughing it out. But my husband feels so bad for not taking her to a doctor in Ottawa.
So here is to my little trooper. Her perseverance and love for her sport and strong competitive nature makes her a hero in my eyes. (yes, I am a sap when it comes to my kids
:cheers: To Connor!
