[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 614310, member: 1550"] Thanks to all. I made Jumper come home after basketball practice tonight to talk to me. And, yes, in way below zero weather and on a Sunday night, they had basketball practice. Jumper seemed fine. Talking about her knee she insisted the trainer saw her and bent her knee in this way and that way and said it was just bruised and that she didn't need to go because it is much better. I told her that if I see her favoring it in a game, she WILL go to the doctor. Her teenage answer? "WHATEVAH!" I believe it doesn't hurt her much anymore. I checked her grades and they are excellent. I should have done that before I wrote this. And I have to remember that she is very resilient. She does not seem depressed tonight. I think her funk was over the basketball captain thing, but tonight all she wanted to do was to get back to her boyfriend who was waiting outside in the car. This kid is gold. I hope she dates him six more years and marries him. It's not just him, it's his entire family. She is always with him and maybe he is enough for her. On top of being a boyfriend, he is a great best friend. I got off track. She also told me she is applying to the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, which means she has not forgotten about her hopes and dreams. So I guess I had a mommy panic attack...lol. Can you relate? Having gotten her knee's status tentatively resolved, I am going to back off and let her solve this herself (the problem with the girls). She does not seem to want to resolve it...it can take her a long time to get over a hurt. [/QUOTE]
