Lindsey Vonn Goes Under Knife For Third Time ... 'Successful' Surgery On Broken Leg
Lindsey Vonn is giving fans an update from her hospital bed, announcing she underwent ANOTHER surgery -- her third since Sunday's brutal accident -- which she says was a success ... though the road to recovery is a long one.
"I had my 3rd surgery today and it was successful," the 41-year-old Olympian wrote to her over 3 million followers on Instagram.
"Success today has a completely different meaning than it did a few days ago. I’m making progress and while it is slow, I know I’ll be ok. Thankful for all of the incredible medical staff, friends, family, who have been by my side and the beautiful outpouring of love and support from people around the world."
Along with the medical update, Vonn also posted three photographs ... including one showing what appears to be an external fixator device on her right leg, which she broke in multiple places during Sunday's gnarly crash on a mountain in Italy.

Elissa told her costars she spotted a tiny bottle in the bathroom, assumed it was eye drops, and squeezed a few drops in -- only to realize it was nail glue. Brutal.

MN Rep. Ilhan Omar Appears to Call Trump 'Leader of Pedophile Protection Party'
President Donald Trump and his party might hate Somalia ... but, at least Somalia executes pedophiles there instead of electing them -- so says Rep. Ilhan Omar.
The Democratic Congresswoman from Minnesota took to social media, apparently to express her frustration with POTUS, after Trump badmouthed the country where she was born in a Tuesday night Fox Business interview ... in which he claimed Somali immigrants are damaging the state.
Omar -- who moved to the U.S. at 12 years old -- posted on her X account ... "The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them." Her account has more than 2.7 million followers.
