Alpine skiing, Vonn: “Finally I left the hospital, but the road is still long”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “Finally I left the hospital. After almost two weeks lying in bed, almost completely motionless, I am finally good enough to move to a hotel. It is not yet home, but it is a huge step“. So, on social media, Lindsey Vonn. The American skier finally sees the light at the bottom of the tunnel after the bad fall during the free women’s descent of the Milan-Cortina Games, resulting in injuries and surgery.

“When the accident occurred, the situation was rather ‘impegnative’, in many respects, but in the end everything was back under control. Thanks again to Dr. Tom Hackett. Now I’m going to focus on rehab and wheel chair to crutches, which will happen in a few weeks. It will take about a year for all bones to heal and then I will decide whether I want to remove all the metal or not, then return to the operating room and finally fix the front crusade”, Vonn punctuated. “It will be a long way but I will get there. At least I’m out of the hospital now. I love you all,” said the American champion.
