Welcome to DivaTribe

 

A diva accepts herself as she is right now and strives to be even better.
She doesn't change who she is to fit someone else's idea of what she ought to be.
She reaches for her own ideal sense of whom she wants to be.
She's strong; she's courageous; she's creative.

DS sprained his ankle last night on the neighbors trampoline, and now he is going to miss the first week of Football practice!

I have told the kids a million times never to double jump - but of course they didn't listen... When 14 yr old DS landed - outweighing 8 yr old DS by 70 pounds - the trampoline bounced way back & 8 yr old DS twisted his ankle badly. Thank God it is not broken!

Now he keeps saying he wishes he could go back in time and not double jump!  dry

Trampoline's are nothing but injury traps in my opinion.  Still love to jump on them but everyone (even adults) have to be careful.  Hope your DS is feeling better and isn't in alot of pain.

Tell him to take it easy - sprains take longer to heal than breaks!

Poor guy! And I second the "take it easy" advice--I had a Level 1 sprain that took 2 months to heal and still gives me occasional problems (all from demonstrating a simple dance step slowly... go figure!).

That is especially true with kids and teenagers!

His ankle seems to have healed very well, he is not favoring the other foot, or showing any signs of injury any longer. The Dr. said it was only a mild sprain on Monday, and that if it felt better by Wednesday he could resume activities (although I told him Friday at the earliest!) So, I think he will be good to go rejoining football practice on Monday!
