DD went back to practice for the first time last night and fully came to realize how little she is able to do.
I had to walk away from the window as she cried her way through straight jumps, tuck jumps and split jumps on beam.
She had a two hour practice. Spent most of it on beam. At first it was ok, but when she REALLY realized that this is all she can to for now, she just began to cry.
I think it would not have been quite so bad if another girl on her team had not just gotten out of a cast. This girl had a break in her thumb and the Dr had left her fingers pretty open and she could put pressure on her fingers since it didn't affect the thumb, DD does not have this option so she is much more restricted than her teammate was. I think she thought it would be the same, that she just would not be able to do bars or ROBHS.
I talked to HC who said that DD will have a hard time just because of her personality. She and I agreed that for now DD will go 2 days instead of 3 and see how that goes.
I told her she would have the prettiest leaps, jumps and turns of any of the new L4's. Didn't help, she wants to rock bars.
Any advice?
