"There's only 20 percent weight," Shields said as she walked down a hospital hallway. "The goal is to bend your knee each time like a little bit, just so you're not dragging it or hitching up your hip."
"Broke my femur. Beginning to mend," she captioned the post. "No matter what your challenge is, make a positive choice, for yourself, to move forward. #BeginningIsNow."
