<p>Thanks TheDad, but among surgeries and injuries it was relatively minor (torn meniscus). She could have lived with it a good while but it would have put a cramp in her plan to remain physically active and we figured it was better to get the surgery behind her right after graduation – before her life got more complicated. She was lucky it happened just when it did. She finished rehab in September and is back dancing now – taking evening classes after work several nights a week. </p>
<p>I think one big adjustment will be the loss of school vacations and the time flexibility of a college schedule. Her free/discretionary time is very limited now.</p>
