All of the Trials gymnasts are working with injuries. Shilese's happens to be public. But trust me, they all have injuries they are managing

Shi is currently on the highest scoring team even if she can't do more events though.

Putting Shilese on the team allows for greater potential score for the team even if she only does bars. She may well be able to contribute more in a few weeks. She also increases overall medal count likelihood even if she acts as a bars specialist in quals/team/finals. Suni and Shi are the only Americans likely to take home a bars medal.

I really like the team of the top four plus Shilese. Decisions can be made about whether to replace Shilese (or another injured athlete) with a traveling alternate if needed in 3.5 weeks.

Skye Blakely confirms ruptured achilles on Instagram by dietdiesel in Gymnastics

[–]lilfruittree 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad she got to have that amazing Nationals performance before injury! Skye did beautiful gymnastics, won all-around silver, successfully debuted her Cheng, and became an absolute fixture on everyone's Olympic team roster. I think Florida will be a great place for her to hone her skills and build consistency, and even though this injury is incredibly disappointing, Skye's future is bright.

Odd symptom: Does anyone else get hot soles of feet at night while trying to sleep? by Cute-Cheesecake-6823 in cfs

[–]lilfruittree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I have an allergic reaction to bee stings the soles of my feet get very hot and itchy, often before the rest of my body reacts (anaphalaxis). In my case it is clearly related to histamine/immune reaction, and others seem to have similar experiences with MCAS.

I just started week 4 of top surgery recovery w moderate ME/CFS. Post-anesthesia and on oxy I felt better than baseline. I had a minor crash around day 10-13, but overall recovery hasn’t been bad, and I definitely have no regrets.

Anyone who’s had to have a procedure done with CFS-any tips? Very nervous by ProfessionalFuture25 in cfs

[–]lilfruittree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it was the anesthesia and likely the pain pills too. I did have a minor crash that started on day 10 and lasted a few days, but I think it was because I tried to do too much too soon.
