The former supermodel shared an Instagram video of herself walking around the hospital on crutches. Shields didn’t say how she got hurt.
“It broke my femur,” she wrote in the caption. “Starting to fix it. No matter what your challenge is, make a positive choice, for yourself, to move on. #BeginningisNow.”
In the video, Shields can be heard talking to a medical professional as they walk down the hall.
“There is only 20% of weight,” she said as she counted her steps. “The goal is to bend your knee a little bit at a time, just so you don’t drag or pull your hips, correct?”
She immediately received a show of support from famous friends, including Sharon Stone, who wrote in the captions: “Oh shit, honey, I’m sorry, tell me how you’re doing. You’re at home in the west, I can bring you food.”
Glenn Close wrote, “Brooke! I’m sorry! Courage … is in your blood. Sending love.”
