Madeline got hurt at last Wednesday's Twistars practice. No, that's not a photo of her knee, that's her ankle. Fortunately, it's not broken. Just a very bad sprain.
After a couple days she could almost put a little weight on it. Naturally, by the weekend with a mere 2 ibuprofen, 2 acetaminophen, and about 50 yards of tape she was competing at the Arnold Classic. The girl is a rock. Of course when it was all over, vicodin was the only way she could sleep with the pain.
I'm not sure what hurt more, the injury, or soaking her foot it in a bucket of ice water after getting home Sunday night. I bet she feels the 1st place finish was worth it. No pain, no gain, right?
While I'm at it, this was the first time we went to the Arnold Classic. What a hoot. Watched fencing, table tennis, ballroom dancing, and of course the cheerleading. Perrin was bummed because the body building competition was over at Veterans Memorial - though there was no shortage of bulky folks at the expo. Got to see Lou Ferrigno too!
