The 20-year-old thanked those around her for their support and posted several pictures from the hospital. "I am very grateful for all the support I have received from my family, friends and sponsors."
But there is also something positive for the 20-year-old. Thanks to the injury, she now has more time to look after the new family dog, writes Pedrazzi and posts a cute photo of the cuddly new addition to the family.
