Worse Than We Thought! Brooke Shields Just Revealed More Heartbreaking Details From Her Health Scare

What followed was a series of surgeries, placing metal rods in her leg to keep the bones in place. And it didn't end there. After Shields returned home, a staph infection had her quickly making her way back to the hospital where she underwent an emergency surgery and three blood transfusions.

Now, the 55-year-old is in physical therapy to learn how to walk again.

Despite this difficult time, Shields has managed to stay optimistic.

She told People, "This is my journey, and if it took me breaking the largest bone in my body, then recovery is something I want to share. We have to believe in ourselves and encourage one another. There's no other way to get through life, period."

Here's hoping she's feeling better soon!
