Lindsey Vonn will have another surgery on her broken left leg Saturday at the Italian hospital treating her “and then I can potentially leave and go back home.”
Vonn posted a video message on Instagram on Friday following her horrific crash in the Olympic downhill race at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
“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. I have a long, long way to go. Tomorrow I’ll have another surgery and hopefully that goes well and then I can potentially leave and go back home, at which point I will need another surgery,” she said Friday. “Still don’t know exactly what that entails yet until I get some better imaging, but it’s kind of where I am right now.”
