""Hey guys, I just wanted to give you a little update and say thank you so much to everyone that has been sending me flowers and letters," Vonn said, adding that she has also received stuffed animals, including a shark pillow that she was resting her head on in the video. "It's just been so amazing and really helped me a lot. "It has been quite a hard few days in the hospital here. I'm finally feeling more like myself.""
""The 41-year-old Vonn crashed 13 seconds into her run during Sunday's race and was airlifted off the course by helicopter. The American skiing standout said late Monday she had suffered a " complex tibia fracture that is currently stable but will require multiple surgeries to fix properly." She said on Wednesday that she had a "successful" third surgery. Nine days before Sunday's crash, Vonn ruptured the ACL in her left knee.""
Lindsey Vonn is hospitalized in Treviso, Italy, after a crash during the Olympic downhill at Milan Cortina. She sustained a complex fracture of the left tibia that is currently stable but will require multiple surgeries to repair. Vonn underwent what was described as a successful third operation and expects at least one more surgery before discharge. Nine days earlier she ruptured the ACL in her left knee in a separate crash. She is immobile, receiving support and gifts from friends and family, and awaits further imaging to finalize surgical plans and timing for returning home.
