LINDSEY VONN is HOME!

A surgeon explains Lindsey's procedure.

@lindseyvonn just posted an update after her third surgery, following her accident, which I watched IRL. 
.
Have you ever seen a spanning external fixature before? 
.
Although I am not her orthopedic surgeon obviously, I have been an orthopedic surgery for 27 years and have put on many of these devices which are designed to hold complex fractures stable so that they can heal. 
This particular fixer is spanning her knee meaning it starts in her femur, crosses her knee and inserts into her distal tibia. 
This will hold her bones aligned and prevent further trauma from her leg being unstable while she begins to heal. 
What you can also see in the photograph as it seems like they were preventing something called compartment syndrome, which is the excessive swelling that occurs in high energy trauma that can cause soft tissue swelling and can be great enough to strangulate the muscle so what they do is they open the tight fascia over the muscles to give them room to expand, and then return later to close the skin. 
.
Yes, these are complex injuries, but given Lindsey’s  high biologic resilience as well as her mental fortitude this orthopedic surgeon is confident in her healing and prognosis. 
.
This is also the time where her years of great nutrition, her youthful hormones, and her biologic reserve will come into play. 
.
I am not Lindsey’s surgeon but I am a board certified sports surgeon with significant trauma experience. I think these things hurt a little bit have you ever gotten them to feel good OK

“YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'RE A CATHOLIC." ARE YOU REALLY?

"...young people and young men in particular, within and well beyond the United States, have been increasingly drawn to the Church along a more conservative axis. When it comes to seeking time-tested, traditional structures and deep, fixed sources for expressing and affirming human identity, relationship, community and for proposing both ordinary and ultimate purpose, it’s hard to find a better option than the 2000-year-old billion-strong Catholic Church."



I can't get past what the Church did to Indigenous North Americans and other children. There was a Residential School in my British Columbia town and I've listened to far too many stories of children torn away from their families to not be ashamed to be Catholic.

Thanks for the education. I don't believe American's have woken to the damage the Church did to First Nations Americans for years. The above link to Decolonization is quite revealing.

CAREER DAYS, NOT ALWAYS COLLEGE

They told me a truck driver didn’t belong on the stage, but I was the only one in that gym who’d kept America fed when the shelves went bare.


My name’s Linda. I’m forty-six, a long-haul trucker, and a single mom. I don’t wear a suit. I don’t have a framed diploma on my wall. What I have is twenty years behind the wheel, miles of asphalt under my boots, and two kids who’ve never gone hungry because I refused to quit.


When my daughter’s school asked me to speak at Career Day, I laughed. Who wants to hear from a truck driver? But she begged, so I showed up. The gym was filled with polished shoes, ties, and PowerPoints. Doctors talking about saving lives. Lawyers bragging about cases won. A tech guy in a crisp blazer throwing around words like “equity” and “IPO.”


And then there was me—mud on…
