Disappointing News

Mammogram day. Blah.

Lauren got the final word from the doc on performing at the band contest, and he said she shouldn't. She's still limping and he had her do some sidesteps and other things in the hall. It's just not healed enough yet. We were formulating all sorts of possibilities, including her just doing the performances (up to three) at ten minutes each, since she wouldn't be able to handle a few three-hour practices. It became obvious that wasn't even possible.

And as EVERYONE has said to her and me, "You don't want to mess around with a groin injury." They can take forever to heal, if reinjured. She started physical therapy last Wednesday, and it is definitely helping. The doc thinks it'll take 6-8 weeks for her to be back to normal (she's at two now), maybe she'll be significantly better sometime next week. Ack-- just bad timing on Grand Nationals.

She thought she would be relieved just to have an answer one way or the other, and she knew it would probably be a no, but she was still incredibly disappointed. She's able to go on the trip though, which is great! She'll just sit out during practices and shows. They leave early tomorrow morning. I hope they don't walk too much.
