Shields sustained a life-changing injury when she fell off a balance board and landed on her upper leg, breaking her femur.
It’s been a long haul since then with the star undergoing a series of surgeries as well as battling a staph infection.
She’s slowly worked her way back to mobility, first using crutches then a cane to help her get around.
In March, she shared with People that initially she was terrified she might never walk again and said the work involved in regaining the use of her leg had left her feeling helpless.
In total she’s had seven rods and a metal plate inserted in her right leg and hip and she’s clearly made a remarkable recovery.
‘If anything, I’m a fighter,’ she told People.
