Kate Gosselin will be able to start slowly walking again after suffering a “life-altering” leg injury.
Back in September, the reality star was hospitalized after her puppy ran into her “full-speed ahead,” resulting in a tibial plateau fracture.
In a TikTok video posted Saturday, Gosselin shared the happy news that after 82 days of no walking, her doctor gave her permission to gradually start again.
Once Gosselin, 50, was at the doctor’s office, she showed her “skinny, little girl leg,” which she hasn’t been able to use for months.
Now that she can start walking on it again, she hopes to “build muscle.”
“The answer is yes. I’m allowed to walk. I have to start at 25 percent, the 50 percent, then 75 percent, 100 percent,” she explained. “So you won’t see me really walking immediately, but I’m excited.”
Next, the “Dancing With the Stars” alum showed herself at physical therapy beginning to put pressure and walk on her injured leg while using crutches.
After her physical therapy appointment ended, she explained what her future treatment would to look like.
“So there you have it. We’re packing and leaving to go home and I will doing a little weight bearing here and there like you saw me and increasing by the day.”
“Have a great weekend and I will keep in touch as we travel and once we get home, I don’t know how much the kids will want to be on my TikToks because I guess it’s not cool, but we’ll see,” she concluded the video.
When Gosselin’s pup first landed her in the hospital, she asked her TikTok followers for “prayers” since her injury left her so “scared.”
She underwent “surgery with plates and pins in [her] leg” and labeled the procedure her “top three most painful” surgeries.
The TV personality turned home health care nurse is known for documenting her life through social media now that she is no longer on the small screen.
Kate gives rare glimpses of her kids — whom she shares with ex-husband Jon Gosselin — although two of the eight children, Collin and Hannah, live with their father.
Meanwhile, Madelyn, Cara, Aaden, Alexis, Leah and Joel remain close with Kate.
Collin, 21, has accused his mom of horrifying abuse while under her care and blames her for him and his siblings being “forced apart.”
