Actress Katherine Kelly Lang is recovering from surgery after sustaining a serious injury while horseback riding.
TheBold and the Beautifulstar, 60, revealed in a series of Instagram videos and photos that she dislocated her ankle and foot on Mother’s Day.
She added that she intended to ride for 40 miles as she prepares for a 50-mile horse race set for next month.
Continued Lang: “My ankle and foot dislocated off to the left at a 90 degree angle to my leg. I pushed it back into place. It was so gross but I had to do it.”
“The ambulance took me to the hospital and the xrays showed 3 broken bones in my ankle,” the actress wrote. “Had surgery late that night and now have rods, pins, and screws in my ankle. No weight bearing on my foot for 6 weeks.”

She noted that, despite her injury, she planned “to go to work later this week and try to heal quick so I can do all the things I love to do.”
Determined to be optimistic, Lang concluded, “I am still in the hospital today and trying to have a smile on my face. I am not a happy camper when things slow me down like this. And there is always a lesson to learn. Not sure what that lesson is yet but will have the time to contemplate🤷♀️#staypositive.”
