so, monique had her state a couple weeks ago (when grandpa and gramma were here) and she did pretty good. i dont remember all her scores, but i remember that they were all in the 8's, and her all-around was 34.975
my state was the week after and i got an 8.85 on beam, a 9.025 on floor, an 8.75 on vault, and a 9.25 on bars.
gramma wanted to know about my ankle (which i hurt in practice a couple weeks ago) and i went to the normal doctor a week after it happened and they took x-rays and said it was normal. they said that i had to go to a special ankle doctor and to stay off it until i could have an appointment. my mom said that i could compete if i wanted, so i went to state and was tumbling for a few practices when i went to the ankle doctor today. he took more x-rays and found a tiny crack in a bone... i guess it had been long enough, or it wasnt that broken, but anyway he said hes just going to call it a sprain and he gave me a strange brace thing-y to wear for a couple weeks. and im supposed to stay off of it... i dont think thats going to work too well, i'll probably be back on it in a week with full tumbling and vaulting, oh well...

oh, and my all-around was 35.875
Way to GO, Kelsey!!! I/we KNEW you'd do well at State and were hoping you'd call, email or post about it SOON!! Your scores were WONDERFUL and it sounds like you are RIGHT on the edge of going into Level 5, too, the exciting step you've been waiting for!
- & yes, Monique DID do really well at her meet, too! (We have pics of it we'd LOVE to have posted, but have honored our promise to her to not do so, sigh!) We were so THRILLED to be present to see her compete and as you know, would also have LOVED to have seen you at State, too! - SOMEday I'm sure we will get the opportunity!
Re your ankle, I'm sure it was a relief to have the source of that chronic, elusive pain validated by the Dr.! PTL that it is healing so well & we'll keep praying for complete healing. Please keep us posted and do LISTEN to your DR., Kelsey!! I KNOW how you love gymnastics and how motivated you are, but if you reinjure it or aggravate it you could end up being out of gymnastics far longer then what he said and/or find out that it can hurt even more then the original injury did - NOT fun!
I love you!
Gramma
So glad to hear from you again, Kelsey!
Sounds like you did a great job at State. Way to go.
Do take care of your ankle! Surely you can keep in shape and still stay off the foot for a while. It is very dificult to stay off - but harder when the mproblem drags on & on 'cause you get on it too soon. (That's experience speaking)
Hey, Kelsey ~ great to see you around here again! I'm looking forward to seeing pictures from your meets.
How's the ankle doing?
great job Kelsey and Monique!
Take care of your ankle!
