Finally at home. Weeks after a serious crash in the downhill at the Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, for which she has had to undergo surgery five times so far, Lindsey Vonn is now at home after a second period of hospitalization in the United States.
The skier, who admitted that the first surgery saved her from having her leg amputated due to compartment syndrome, was pleased to be home, although she knows the rehabilitation process will be difficult. "Home sweet home. It feels good to sleep in my own bed," she said. "Now I'm focused on therapy and getting well. It's going to be a tough and painful journey, but I'm putting all my energy into it, as I always do."

Vonn, 41, paid tribute to one of her three dogs, Leo, who died while she was in Italy for the Olympic Games. "Walking through the front door without Leo greeting me as he always did was a very harsh reality. A reality that I had to face. Along with many other harsh realities that are in front of me as I move forward," she said.
The skier insisted that "I will take some time for myself and will provide updates when I can. But right now my focus is on taking care of myself. I appreciate your love and support."
