Unexpected operation
Dazed Shiffrin reports from the hospital
Mikaela Shiffrin has addressed her fans with another update from hospital. The US skier, who suffered a serious fall in Killington, shared a video on Instagram in which she - visibly dazed from the anesthetic - talks about an unexpected operation.
After not feeling well, she went under the knife again on Thursday, Shiffrin explained: "It turned out that I had a small cavity that was deeper than the wound tract, which was filled with old hematoma and couldn't be treated normally. So we went in to wash it out and close it with stitches and a small JP drain to allow the drainage to flow," the 99-time World Cup winner described.
She said she was incredibly grateful for all the help at the hospital and would be in touch with further updates. "The biggest annoyance right now is that I can't make it to the finish to watch my teammates race in person in Beaver Creek, but I'll be watching and cheering on TV!" promised Shiffrin.
