Brooke Shields has taken to Instagram sharing snaps from her hospital bed following multiple surgeries after her January injury.

The actor recently told People she fell off a balance board while at a downtown New York City gym in January, and ended up flying into the air and landed with such force that she broke her right femur.

"It felt like it was all in slow motion. And then I just started screaming," she recalled.

The 55-year-old shared she's currently in physical therapy – "I need to relearn how to even walk," she said. But she seems to be in good spirits.

"I've come a long way since this," she captioned her most recent Instagram post, "but the journey is just beginning."
