Everyone’s favorite supermodel, Brooke Shields, is learning to walk again after breaking her femur. Taking to Instagram to share the news with her fans, she wrote, “Broke my femur. Beginning to mend,” alongside a video of her wearing a hospital gown while trying to walk with crutches. Allowing herself to put only 20 per cent of her body weight on her bad leg, she said that the current goal “is to bend your knee each time like a little bit, just so you’re not dragging it or hitching up your hip.”
While we don’t know the details about how the Jane the Virgin actor hurt herself, it seems she is in high spirits despite her injury, going so far as to share a positive message at the end of her Instagram post: “No matter what your challenge is, make a positive choice, for yourself, to move forward,” she told her fans, before signing off with the hashtag #BeginningisNow.
