“Bad boy and good boy”, she started in the clip, taking a step with her right foot and then with her left.
“There is only 20% of the weight,” said Shields as she walked down the hospital corridor. “The goal is to bend your knee a little bit at a time, just so you don’t drag or pull your hips.”
“It broke my femur. Starting to fix it,” she captioned the post. “No matter what your challenge is, make a positive choice for yourself to move on. #BeginningIsNow.”
Shields did not mention how she broke the femur.
