T is on the Injured List

Well, T is officially on the injured list.  Grand Prix is out and more than likely AAU Nationals. He hurt his foot while training. We thought maybe he needed a metatarsal adjustment by the chiropractor but when we went there today to get T adjusted he said T needs to be checked out at an orthopedist. So we got him seen there and sure enough his foot is injured and it could be as short as 3 weeks or as long as 4-6 weeks recovery time according to the doctor. The doctor said everyone heals differently and kids generally bounce back quicker. But 3 weeks still puts him out of both USAT Grand Prix and AAU Nationals tournaments because he’ll have had zero training time for these few weeks leading up to the tournament to be better prepared for fighting. He’s in a Med boot and is hating life right now. This is just an obligatory pic that I got and he certainly didn’t want me taking it. He’s so upset but it is what it is. This may very well end up being just a growing/training year for him and cheering on his teammates until he can get back to fighting himself.
