for ankle surgery ...and she's smiling about it.

​

Best wishes, speedy recovery, and love, coming at you Lou, from the Boneyard.

What is the nature of the surgery?

 

[Hayven]

Another surgery on the foot/ankle?

 

[EricLA]

Best wishes for a speedy AND full recovery! I hope you are able to come back for your senior season 100% and show the world what you can do when 100% healthy!

 

[ochoopsfan]

Hopefully she will return 100%.

Another surgery on the foot/ankle?

She did not have surgery when she broke her foot in 2016. Not aware that she had surgery on her foot or ankle before this.

She really toughed it out this year, what a warrior.

I'm assuming it is ligament tightening which looks to have a 4-6 month recovery period. We will hear more soon, no doubt.

If you follow this Lou, best wishes for a full recovery, and for great success next year and beyond.

Katie Lou - not a drama queen. She's a warrior!

.

That might be the best way to describe Lou.
Perhaps comparable to Bobbie Baun on the 64 Toronto Maple Leafs, although different injuries.

I don’t like the looks of this.

Excellent. Get that fixed up so she's good to go for her senior campaign.

I was wondering if Lou would elect to have surgery after the season to resolve her chronic ankle issues. With her senior season and a long career in the pros ahead of her, glad to see her take care of the problem now.

As tough as Lou is, it’s a good thing the Huskies don’t have a game this weekend because she would be pestering Geno to play her while dragging her surgically repaired ankle.

My bad @psconn Correction made.

 

[JavaMan]

And all went well.

​

 

[jcoton56]

God bless and speedy recovery! Hope you feel better soon.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Lou even had her "bun" for surgery. She is always ready for a battle.

 

[BobbyJ]

And all went well.

​

Just wondering..... has anyone ever heard of a surgery being being announced as "unsuccessful" ??

 

[Kaizen]

Pray for her 100% recovery.

 

[GoUconn7961]

The reports coming out of UCONN say she is fine. The surgery went well and she'll be ready for the 2018-2019 season. Deep breaths..

Yeah, when the patient doesn’t come out of it, sadly.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The Courant is reporting:

—Ankle surgery

—It was successful

—She should be ready for the start of next season

What is the nature of the surgery?

Dr. Mosqueda-Lewis fixed Lou’s 3-point shot.

I think a hairnet is standard for surgery. But was she wearing knee pads?

 

[oldude]

I’m actually excited about this news. As good as Lou was this past season, earning consensus 1st team AA honors, you have to wonder just how good she could have been on 2 good ankles. I guess we’ll all find out next season.

 

[JordyG]

Good. It was inevitable, so the sooner the better. For those unfamiliar, it was discussed time and again that surgery to strengthen her ankle and prevent further trauma to the ankle from sprains would be necessary. Done and done. Now let's look toward next season. Hopefully her rehab will also improve her lower body strength. Every little bit helps.

Uh, when the patient dies on the table. I've been there.
