did ur doc say that u couldnt CHEER or just not TUMBLE.... cause if u just cant tumble then u will still be able to cheer... also after ur ankle heals this time invest in a good ankle brace or see if ur doc can perscribe one for u... whoknows maybe after u go to therapy for a few months ur ankle will be strong enough and ur doc may change his mind and lift the restriction or at least modify it (like that u can tumble ONLY with an ankle brace on)....
i know how ur feeling about NEEDING to cheer... i injured my knee in June(during the off season) and i wasnt cleared to do anything until september and then all i could do was stunt(no jums or tumbling), but then by october i was allowed to do jumps and stunting but im still unable to tumble... hopefully by the time the season is over ill be able to start tumbling again so that i can do it next season... but if not no biggie.... CHEERLEADING is still AWESOME with or without the tumbling!!!!
best of luck with ur recovery and if u really want to tumble again then wait until after ur done with therapy and then ask ur doc again... maybe if u take a year off from tumbling only then spend that time regaing ur strength ur doc will lift the restrictions... if not then u could do it anyway ama(aganist medical advice) but if u do this u may want to find a new gym cause im certain that ur coach wont allow u to tumble knowing that ur not allowed
