‘I’ll never be the same’ – Katie Price reveals she’s been registered disabled after breaking both feet in 25ft fall
Katie Price has revealed that she’s been registered disabled after she broke both of her feet when she fell 25ft in a freak accident.
The former British glamour model, 42, suffered horrific injuries last August during a trip to Turkey with her beau Carl Woods and children Princess, 13, and Junior, 15, and had to undergo an eight-hour operation to rebuild her feet.
Katie’s injury happened last August while she was on holiday in Turkey with her beau Carl Woods and children Princess, 13, and Junior, 15.
The accident left Katie in a wheelchair and unable to walk for months.
Speaking with The Sun about how the accident has affected her, Katie said she will never be the same again as she’s in constant pain and ‘waddles like a duck’ when trying to walk.
Kate also revealed that she’s been registered disabled.
Katie said: ‘I will never be the same… I’ve got a limp when I walk now as one leg is longer than the other because of all the metal in the foot — I waddle like a duck. It does make me feel a bit paranoid
‘I’m registered disabled and have got letters from the doctors to certify me for a blue badge, which I’ve sent off for.’
Speaking about the pain she’s still feeling after the fall, Katie said that she feels like she’s ‘being electrocuted’ as the pain shoots through her feet.
The mother-of-five also revealed that she’s not been taking either of the painkillers given to her as she’s worried about becoming addicted.
Katie, who can only walk for 20 minutes also revealed she’ll have to get her legs and hips ‘aligned’ and also wears pads in her shoes to help with a collapsed arch.
The former Glamour model, who feared she wouldn’t be able to walk again after the fall, went on to add that she is seeking ‘legal advice’ about her situation.
‘This has all affected our home life dramatically… It’s all just a nightmare that has gone from bad to worse.’
She also explained how her feet are ‘destroyed’ following the incident, with doctors telling her they have amputated legs with similar injuries.
