She suffered a tibia and fibula fracture and is wearing a full-leg cast for three months, as she will not be undergoing surgery. This video was filmed during the second week of her cast. Some of you may have seen her on TikTok, so please be respectful and do not bother her.

She has worn her cast for two full months—an unusually long and challenging stretch, made necessary because she hasn’t had access to surgery. As a result, the cast in this video looks extremely dirty and worn, and her leg shows significant muscle atrophy and noticeable thinning, leaving extra space inside the cast. There’s also a segment where she elevates her casted leg on a table and playfully tries on a variety of socks, layering different colors and textures over the cast despite the difficulty of reaching it.

The video follows her on crutches for an extended walk outdoors, mostly filmed from the front. It also includes scenes at home where she lies down and talks about her cast, her injury, and more, while flexing her toes and giving close-up views of the cast.

At one point, she even stands and puts her full weight on the fractured, casted leg—a move she suspects may have slowed the healing process. She mentions an upcoming check-up where doctors will decide whether she needs a new cast or can finally go without one.
