!EMERGENCY!
My DD is in her 2nd year of college softball and her team is going to Florida for a tournament in exactly 7 days. My DD is super pumped for this but sadly on 2/15/2020 aka 2 days ago she hurt her ankle in practice. Her ankle is swollen and has a bit of a bruise. She says it doesn’t hurt too bad to walk on but I’m still worried. I wouldn’t be as worried about the ankle if my DD was a power hitter and never really needed to run fast However she isn’t and worst of all she specializes in speed. My DD is a lefty slap hitter and relies a lot on outrunning throws and stealing bases. I’m afraid this ankle will cause her to run slower and make her get benched which would be a shame because my DD has been excited about this trip for weeks. Here are my questions. How long will it take a slightly swollen and bruised ankle to heal? Also my DD runs around a 2.9 20 yard dash so if her ankle didn’t heal in time how much would it slow her down by? I’m worried her ankle will make her run like a 3.5 and get her benched but am I just being irrational? How much will she really slow down by will it just stay 2.9, or slow to 3.1, or maybe even cause her to run as slow as 3.5? Also she’s the teams center fielder so this ankle is a big problem.
