I wonder though, is it confirmed that the infection is in the bone or joint and not the soft tissue? I honestly can’t imagine any doctor allowing her to skate with a bone/joint infection. I find even the thought kind of terrifying. Considering the fact that she’s not currently in the hospital getting IV antibiotics, I’m hoping it’s more likely it’s a really bad cellulitis of the foot/ankle.
I believe before the event she said it was a skin thing that kept her from wearing the boot. I can't find the article where I read that.... I wonder if she's just talking about a skin infection? If she was breaking in new boots recently it'd be normal to have wounds around the ankle that have trouble healing that could possibly get infected, and would certainly be painful enough to cause a lot of problems for a skater. It'd be a more common scenario, at least?
