OMG OMG OMG (((Alissa)))

[caseyedwards]

hope she recovers well and enough to skate again! Maybe not competitively but do occasional skating.

[jiggs]

Oh nooooooooooooooooo!!! She was doing so well and looked gorgeous out there. (((((Alissa))))) How sad must it be for her to just regain her form and love for skating and then this I hope she recovers well and fast.

I can't help but notice how many injuries there have been recently. It's so sad.

[pani]

Big thanks to Jessiesk8r for posting the first part of Alissa's FS. Believe me I wasn't interested in seeing her fall and the aftermath, but the first part was lovely.

I wish her a complete recovery. Who knows if competitive skating is in her future, but I hope she is able to recover and live without pain.

I wonder if some of her fans here at FSU could send old fashioned "snail mail" cards to Detroit Skating Club for her. Maybe that would be some small comfort to Alissa and a show of support.

Anyone think this is a good idea? I really just wish we could all give her a hug!

Terrible news! ^ yes,, I think this is a good idea!

I opened this thread in its last page (this one, as for now) and it seems really bad - I've just read about Korpi, sigh.

[kittyjake5]

Get well soon Alissa. I have no words.

[gingercrush]

Wow pretty shocking. And sorry what happened to Korpi?

Video of the first half of Alissa's long program is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWtsR8JZMJw

(Sorry for the bad angle on the video!)

Thank you for the video. Lovely skated program!

Yes.

Unfortunately, Czisny dislocated her hip as others have reported. She's out of surgery and doing well. The long-term prognosis depends on a number of factors that aren't clear yet, such as whether any nerve damage sustained is temporary or permanent. It's unlikely that this injury is related to the surgery to repair the labral tear, but possible that she has a source of hip instability, either congenital or acquired, that predisposed her to both injuries.

Thanks for the update. I for one am not going down the path to Mount Doom, and will hope for a full recovery and that she may yet get to skate those programs competitively next season. She's one tough cookie.

Aww, this is so sad. Her SP was so encouraging and it was great to see her back in form. For this injury to happen is horrible. Wishing her a successful and speedy recovery.

Thank you!! She was so beautiful, and maybe she seemed more confident in jumps. Really sad...

OMG (((((Alissa)))))

[Wiery]

Gutted for Alissa.

I wish her a speedy recovery.

[dinakt]

What a heartbreak for Alissa.
One truly cannot anticipate what happens. Maybe Alissa rushed recovery, but then again, maybe she did not; maybe doctors gave her OK; maybe she overcompensated after surgery, maybe, maybe... At the end, it comes down to however much hard impact a body can take, and nobody can know in advance. And accidents happen.
She's a beautiful, beautiful skater. Wishing her courage and serenity.

I read the recovery time for hip dislocation is 2-3 months I really hope this is not what she has. But being carried off on a stretcher is not a good sign. This is so sad that Alissa put in all the blood sweat tears for recovery, only to have it taken way by one fluke fall. Falling that hard on your hip is never fun, especially on an area that still has scar tissue. I was hoping it was just a bruise and she was in shock. I guess we'll see. I kind of agree that she should have not rushed recovery, but she would have a hard time making the Oly team next year if she did not try. Regardless she has 2 national titles and everyone loves her.

I hope she has a speedy recovery with no lasting effect. I wish her all the best and hope to see her on the ice again for Sochi. If not, healthy is good too.
