Brooke Shields doesn’t let her injury keep her down as she makes her way through NYC on crutches

Brooke Shields is on the road to recovery after breaking her femur on her balance board. 

The actress, 55, was spotted making her way through New York City on crutches on Tuesday.

Despite the injury, Brooke was in good spirits as she carefully traversed the big city, even flashing a thumbs up for the camera.

Brooke didn’t let her setback stop her from dressing to impress.

The Blue Lagoon star oozed business chic in a stylish black suit, casual white T-shirt, and smart shades.

She styled her long brunette hair down sleek and straight, and covered up her famously beautiful complexion with a colorful face mask.

Brooke attached a small purse onto the side of one of her crutches while carrying a shopping bag in her other hand.

Brooke incurred the injury after falling off her balance board. 

‘I was on one of those balance boards that I have been doing every day,’ she said on Today last month.

‘It was just something that I like to do. I’ve done it on Instagram and I stupidly switched my focus and I flew up in the air and just hit perfectly.’

‘I’m focusing on just recovery,’ Brooke added. ‘This is really probably the biggest thing that I have to physically go through, but what am I going to do about it?’ 

Brooke announced her injury last month with a video of herself slowly walking through a hospital hallway on crutches.

‘Broke my femur. Beginning to mend. No matter what your challenge is, make a positive choice, for yourself, to move forward,’ she wrote in the caption.

She also posted video from her physical therapy session, where she gingerly walked up a small staircase with the help of her therapist.

‘One step at a time… Beginning is Now!’ she wrote.
