Hey Marie, it goes fast, hurts like hell and you'll be stronger for it. Been there twice, one ACL torn is sports, another on the job. Grit your teeth and it'll be over before you know it.

Crap...I am SO sorry. I didn't know you did gymnastics, my wife was a gymnast some years ago. She judges meets now and still loves it. Keep us informed kid, I hope things go well for you.
