Katie Price is reportedly pleased by the fact that she will be in a wheelchair for another six months.
The mum-of-five has been left wheelchair bound since the summer after suffering a horror fall during a family trip to Turkey.
Katie was with new boyfriend Carl Woods and her children Junior and Princess Andre when she jumped off a wall and landed wrong.
Opening up about Katie’s situation, sources close to the star have insisted a full recovery is possible but it will take time.
An insider spilled: “This has been the most amazing news ever for Katie – but she’s nervous too, as the thought of being able to stand on her feet again is mind-boggling.

“She says she’s forgotten what it feels like, as her feet are literally held together with metal pins.”
They added to The Sun Online: “For Katie, it will feel like a toddler learning to take her first steps, but it’s much sooner than she thought as she was told by doctors that she could be in a wheelchair for a whole year after the operation.”
Speaking frankly about the accident, Katie said: “We were just all mucking about.
“It was just a small wall which had flowers on top and I thought it was the same height the other side — but it was a 25ft drop.

“I landed on my feet and it was like cement. I tried to get up and I couldn’t.
“Then this pain just hit my legs and I’m screaming, ‘My legs! My legs!’”
After being raced to A&E, Katie had both her feet put in casts.
She then returned to the UK for specialist examination before undergoing gruelling six hour surgery.

Luckily for Katie, new man Carl has been by her side ever since making sure she’s ok.
Speaking in August, a rep for Katie told Daily Star Online how she’s leaned on her new man to get her through the toughest few weeks.
“Carl has been Katie’s rock through all of this and is by her side, he is Katie’s happy place, he has been welcomed into the family with open arms,” Katie’s rep explained.
“She likes to think she’s superwoman and tries to be everything for everyone but in reality, Katie just needs to take time to focus on herself and get back to full health.”
