Texas Independence Day is the celebration of the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836. With this document, signed by 59 delegates, settlers in Mexican Texas officially created the Republic of Texas.

Texas' entry into the union, however, wasn’t until December 29, 1845, making it the 28th state.

Can Lindsey Vonn win despite a torn ACL?

This is a question our doctors are being asked by our patients. And, the answer is…yes, it is physically possible for Lindsey Vonn to compete and potentially win, though her chances are significantly altered compared to a fully healthy state.

Despite completely tearing her left ACL one week before the competition, Vonn has successfully completed training runs in Cortina. She has declared her intention to compete in the downhill event and will rely on a knee brace and immense physical conditioning to stabilize the joint in place of the torn ligament.

We wish Lindsey Vonn best of luck and no further injury. Go USA!

Lindsey Vonn's Olympic comeback isn't about winning. It's about showing up at the start gate Sunday.
