Dixie's Knee Drama - Skating with an Injury - Bad...
I’m not a doctor, I just have a couple of sexy nurse outfits. So far be it from me to tell you to not skate broken.
Despite not having an ACL, I played 3 bouts in 3 days at Dust Devil. Here’s my advice if you’re going to do it:
Don’t take drugs beforehand! If you have prescription pain meds, wait until AFTER the bout. Do NOT preemptively take something that could make...

Wine Me, Dine Me...But Really, Start with Wine -...
When contemplating what to serve gentleman callers, you can offer many refreshing choices - bougie mixed drinks, plebeian beers, or the ever-popular yet completely monotonous water. What that guy sitting on the couch waiting to fondle you really wants, besides your boobies, is a beverage that is the Essence of You: A trashy act in a classy package. Let me present: WINE. In all its forms. Here are...

Dixie’s Knee Drama – Denial
It’s official. I have a torn ACL. That’s the medical part.
The diagnosis was pretty straightforward and probably not as alarming to me as it should have been. I was and am still pretty much in denial about the severity of the surgery, but part of it is probably that I subconsciously knew the whole time that my knee was busted.
However, that didn’t stop me from skating a...

What I Wore: What I Wore Organization: Tights →
WhatIWore: I’ve really been embracing tights for the past three years. By spending a little extra money on (up to $30/pair) quality brands (no snags) I’ve built up a collection of over 25 pair.
I organize them by color and tie them onto hangers to easily see them in my closet. When I…

Pinkify Your Hair - Dixie Witch Edition
Timeline:I started dying my hair in 8th grade. It started with red at home box stuff and migrated to the brightest over the counter reds to the most purple auburns. Finally, I got serious and started using Special Effects. It wasn’t until I was stuck at home all weekend nursing a mouthful of removed wisdom teeth that I started bleaching my hair so it could reach its maximum pink potential. Nothing...

Dixie's Knee Drama - Surgery Day Timeline
It’s official. I have a torn ACL in my left knee. That’s the medical part.
-8 hours: I deigned to take a shower for the sake of the hospital staff. I thought about shaving for .0000003 seconds and gleefully rejected that idea.
-7.5 hours: on the advice of “wear something comfortable” I straightforwardly assembled a not so chic ensemble of faded sweatpants and a...

Dixie's Knee Drama - Pre-Op Prep and Thoughts
It’s official. I have a torn ACL in my left knee. That’s the medical part.
Like I said, I’ve really tried to not actively dwell on the reality of having surgery. It’s a two-sided coin. On the one hand, I’m clearly in denial which I guess is bad. Or at least is supposed to be bad in a 12-step psychobabble-y kind of way.
On the other,...

Dixie's Knee Drama - How I Blew Up My ACL
It’s official. I have a torn ACL in my left knee. That’s the medical part.
The circumstances seem banal enough to me, but are apparently surreal to lots of other people.
It tore during an on-skates demonstration at Allcon, a sci-fi, comics, fantasy, etc convention my league does. We were skating on a temporary parque floor in front of an audience of Star Trek cadets, storm...
