Ashley Judd says she can finally walk again nearly six months after shattering her leg in a fall in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's rainforest.
Judd, who shattered her leg in four places and experienced nerve damage after falling in the rainforest in February, gave an update on her recovery on Instagram.
In the post, she said she was able to hike in Swiss National Park in Zernez, Switzerland, over the weekend.
"It is with reverence and quiet awe I offer this update. Today, five months and three weeks after the accident in the Congolese rainforest, I walked again," she wrote. "Stepping in, I felt in my ease, my natural garment of self, at home in my spirit. My leg and foot, worked beautifully. I walked up hill on uneven surfaces for an hour confidently and came down carefully and easily."
Judd continued to thank her doctors and highlighted the speed of her recovery. She wrote: "We expected my foot – if ever – to *begin* to move in one year. In four months to the day, she blew us all away. Now, after crying while trying to spell the ABCs with a paralysed foot…. well, you see!"
