Well im the co-captain of my schools cheer leading squad. Its all ive ever known, its the only sport ive ever done, i absolutely adore it and its the social standing im used to, all my friends are on the squad.
Problem, ive bruised & sprained every part of my body and have broken/hurt my wrists, shoulder, knees, ankles ect.. countless times. My mother pretty much told me that if i had 1 more injury, she'd pull me out of the squad. well im a flyer (girl they throw up in the air) and i was up there and i was supposed to do 1 flip in the air, pretty simple, much easier that most of the stuff i do, but something went wrong with my basers and i hit the ground, hard. i got up and continued the routine, but my ankle has been KILLING me ever since then. i cant tell my mom, that isnt even an option, i dont think its broken, it just really hurts, its probably just a sprain. sometimes i wonder why i do this, but i really cant imagine my life without it, 5 hour practices & being thrown into the air might not seem like fun for most people, but its my life. i had practice this morning, and i functioned close to normal, i even landed my layout with all the back handsprings, but i did it in ALOT of pain .

what should i do? i dont have practice tomorow so should i just stay off it and hope it heals?
