Is There Hope After My Injury?

[Anna Gurvich Rogers]

Hey Everyone,

This is my first post! I broke both sides of my ankle and my leg (fibula) last December and am still in recovery. I swear I thought I was never going to walk again until I finally took my first steps without crutches (about 3 months after my injury). My doctor says he is not sure if I will be able to cheer again and that I will be out for at least a year so I missed this season and now it looks like next season as well. I know I have so much left to give but I also feel like I am never going to be able to compete again and its killing me. Everyone else's injuries that I have read seem like they are not as long or as bad as mine. Is there hope?! Has anyone had an injury that has taken them over a year to recover?

<3 Anna

Bless your heart. I'm afraid I don't have any words of wisdom except to say don't give up. Do your therapy diligently, listen to your doctor and therapists (that includes if they tell you you're pushing too hard) and good luck.
