That was in really poor taste.
Anyway, wishing a complete recovery for Alissa and I hope to see her again on the ice no matter the context (competitions or shows), but only as long as she is fully recovered.
You are so right, I apologize. Sometimes my stupid side takes over.

Argh. I'm crushed. Especially after watching the video of her short. It reminded me how lovely her skating is.
After this bad news, it's nice to see/realize that Alissa ranks up there with our finest (altho' it's a little bit of a jolt not to see Kristi's name). I wish AC had taken this entire season off but I wonder if she felt pressure to compete again this season because of her age (her own pressure, that is). For me, Alissa has been the most elegant figure skater ever, especially her Sabrina program. I hope she heals well and then joins SOI. It's just not worth future permanent injuries to continue competing IMO.
...and that'll pretty much do it for her career I'm afraid.
Accepted . Sorry if I sounded too harsh, sometimes my bitchy side takes over .
A hip dislocation after having surgery for a torn labrum seems pretty bad to me. I don't think it matters whether the dislocation was simple or complex. The fact that a simple UR caused the dislocation indicates to me that Alissa's hip joint is too fragile for competitive skating.
I think all of us are pretty upset about this news and when people are upset...well, sometimes we say things that don't come out well. Gads, I'm just heartbroken for her. I really, really was hoping she would make the World Team this year even though I knew it was a long shot. Such a total and complete bummer.
