I’ve previously written about celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brad Pitt and Halle Berry injuring themselves and needing PT, and today E! News has a video about another crop of celeb injuries. Brooke Shields brought a cane (and comfy flip flops!) with her to the fancy Met Ball due to a torn meniscus, “The Big Bang Theory’s” Kaley Cuoco sported a bright pink boot on set because of a broken foot, and singer Jessie J wore a leopard print boot on the red carpet after rupturing a ligament in her foot.
I remember how upset I was when I sprained my ankle, and I know that similar injuries can be devastating to patients even when the chance of a full recovery is high. It’s always great to hear celebrities having a positive attitude about their ailments, while continuing to live their lives normally. I also remember how awkward it was to hobble around school in my boot, and how ugly it was when I had to wear it with a fancy dress to a formal family affair. Maybe my spirits would have brightened if had someone offered me a fun, colorful boot!
