DD was just casted for a torus fracture of her distal radius (right by the wrist). Dr says it's a mild break but the ortho felt more comfortable casting it. 3-4 weeks in the cast.
Here's the dilemma - dd's first meet ever is Nov 15, the day after they remove the cast. We can push the removal to three days prior and the dr said once it comes off, she is good to get right back to practice. She's between level 3-4 in the prep op system. So - no backhandsprings required, just back hip circles, flatbacks on the vault. Lots of handstands and roundoffs.
What do you all think - Is it possible that she could she compete?
She doesn't have practice again until next week, which is when I'll talk to her coaches about it. Jsut looking for the parent and gymnast perspective from past experience... Just wondering if we should just scrap this first meet. Her next on isn't until January. This Nov one is just to prep them and then they have a couple months to work on the weaknesses. Still - 1st ever for her - I'd hate for her to miss it.
