“It broke my femur. Starting to fix it. No matter what your challenge is, make a positive choice, by yourself, to move on. #BeginningisNow,” she wrote.
“There is only 20% of the weight …”, added Shields. “The goal is to bend your knee a little bit at a time, just so you don’t drag or pull your hips.”
