I'm out :-(

[kar5162]

Came out of a spin wrong this morning and badly twisted my knee. Still waiting for a final diagnosis, but best case is probably a sprain, worst an MCL tear. So much for my first adult nationals. Hopefully I'll get there next year.

kim :cry:

[Cactus Bill]

Sorry to hear it Kim...even a sprain can be nasty. Sit out the rest of the season and don't give that injury a chance to get worse...and you will be out there next year! Best of luck...take care.

[jazzpants]

AH, MAN!!! I'm sorry to hear about it, Kim!!! :cry: Please keep us posted on what the doctor said about the knee! Hopefully it's nothing more than a sprain and you'll be back in no time. Take care

(Sending healing vibes in your direction...)

[NickiT]

That's a real shame. You must be so disappointed. All you can do now is sit tight and let it heal. I hope it's nothing more serious than a sprain, even though that's bad enough.

[Mrs Redboots]

Oh, I am sorry! I do hope it's only a sprain, and that it heals quickly.

[skateflo]

Oh, what rotten luck! Will you still go as an observer? I hope it is just a sprain!!! You have our permission to cry and stamp your good foot! Get better real soon.

[Raine]

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope it heals up soon. Let us know...

[Justine_R]

Aww :( Don't worry Kim!! Theres always another time but you just sit back relax and get better!
And then..YOU CAN START TRAINING FOR NEXT YEAR! :):):)
Feel better soon!

[flo]

:cry: Hope you're better soon!

[skaternum]

Oh, no! I hope it heals quickly. :cry:

[dbny]

What rotten luck! Is there no chance you can still skate this year if it's a sprain? Let us know.

[PattyP]

I'm so sorry to hear that, hopefully it's just a sprain and not a MCL tear.

Can you still go and watch? Or maybe have a very quick recovery and do your program without the elements that bother it the most? I had to do that one year and really enjoyed my skate because it was for myself and not the judges.

Let us know how you are doing. I will send a healing prayer your way.

I'm so sorry to hear this. :cry:

[coskater64]

Get better soon and don't rush, just take it easy.

[techskater]

That's too bad. Don't rush the recovery and it will make next year all the sweeter.

[sue123]

I hope everything turns out OK. Just think, next year will be all that much sweeter.

[Shinn-Reika]

Hey I just twisted my ankle so I know how you feel.
good luck with recovery, and don't feel too bad.

[kar5162]

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. I still don't have a final diagnosis, but still can't walk. There's no chance I'll be skating next week, but I may stay and watch Silver I groups.

Good luck to everyone who will be skating - to you and everyone (jazzpants of course) who is working to qualify next year, I hope to see you next year.
