Lou Listed as Questionable

tomcat said:
In the first place, what the hell does "questionable" mean? Because I didn't know, I looked it up. The first definition is "of doubtful propriety, honesty, morality." The second definition is "open to question or dispute." The third is "open to question as to being of the nature or value suggested." Example phrases are: "questionable activity." "a statement of questionable accuracy." and "a questionable privilege."

So while some folks would like to believe her condition is open to question, whatever that means, none of this exactly applies to a medical condition, unless they are saying that their description of the condition is questionable. In other words, maybe we should not believe it.

It has been my (admittedly limited) experience that team descriptions of an injury, especially after only a day or part of a day, really should be questioned. I think the person who said it's a placeholder is onto something. Coaching staffs game these things all the time. Pay no attention to the announcement until the team says the description is what the doctor said, and the prognosis is the doctor's.

Well I know when I watch nba games and a player is listed as questionable, it usually meant that the player was obviously hurt, but they still had a chance to play, and they often waited until like game day/shoot around to see how the player is able to move around on the court and things like that to determine rather the player could actually play. More then likely she won’t play, they most likely will sit her down, a few games to make sure her ankle is fully recovered, and make sure she doesn’t do anymore damage to it. If it’s indeed questionable then they prob want to see how she moves around on the ankle before deciding rather or not she is actually able to play on it.

Completely agree. Still not talking of a fracture or more serious injury. I suspect she will be back on the floor in a week or 2.

Rocky when I saw the blood pool immediately on the underside of her foot I knew this was no ordinary sprain. Say as they will, and I hope to all the basketball gods that I'm wrong, I expect this report to be significantly upgraded. If I'm wrong I will take all the upbraiding BY-ers think I deserve, but I'm sticking by my initial quote. 8-10 weeks. At best. Man, I want to be dead wrong.

This comment is just barely related to the discussion here:

I got the first sprained ankle of my life in June. I just stepped wrong going down stairs and felt like someone jabbed a scalpel in the top/side of my foot. At no point did I feel any pain in normal walking, but some ways of stepping killed me. I saw an orthopedist and was diagnosed with two sprained ligaments, no tears. I couldn't run for 2 weeks, couldn't run in the woods (essential to me in Maryland in the summer) till a few weeks ago due to the roots, so when I hear of athletes coming back from sprained ankles/feet in 1-2 weeks, now I marvel.

Of course, I'm almost 3 times Lou's age, whence the "barely related" remark. Plus I wonder if never having injured an ankle in the first 56 years of my life makes recovery more difficult.

Your right. When your in your teens and 20's healing powers are amazing!! Plus the treatment is so unbelievable and the tech they have access too now is mind blowing. It's not like u or me going to PT three times a week and shelling out a 30.00 co pay :).
Hey worst comes to worse lou red shirts and we have her on campus for an extra year. Ok I'm ducking now and totally kidding.
 
Think the question now is will she be back for the Notre Dame game in two weeks. Geno said there is a lot of swelling.

Geno also confirmed, no broken bones, the joints all look good. Just have to give it Time to heal. Doctors telling him 2 weeks maybe less...but he doesn't trust the Doctors...will believe she's ready when he sees her on the court again....presumably draining 3s!
 
One thing I’ve come to appreciate about Lou, despite her “West Coast” disposition, she is one incredibly tough competitor. She’ll do everything and anything to get back on the court sooner rather than later.
