A Look Back at the Incident

Last week, a statement released to People revealed that Carrie, then 34 years old, suffered "multiple injuries" after falling on the steps outside her home. In addition to breaking her wrist, she sustained cuts and abrasions, which were treated at the hospital. Thankfully, she was released shortly afterward. Her husband, Mike Fisher, wasted no time returning to Nashville to be by her side during her recovery. At the time, Carrie's representative stated, "Her recovery will take some time and she appreciates all prayers and well wishes."

Not one to shy away from expressing her gratitude, Carrie followed up with a heartfelt message to her fans on Sunday, Nov. 12. "Thanks so much for all the well wishes everybody. I’ll be alright… might just take some time. Glad I’ve got the best hubby in the world to take care of me," she wrote. Her words remind us of the importance of having a strong support system during tough times.

Impact on Upcoming Performances

Unfortunately, Carrie's injury meant she couldn't attend the Country Rising benefit concert on Sunday, Nov. 12, in Nashville. The event featured an impressive lineup, including Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Sam Hunt, Martina McBride, Little Big Town, Keith Urban, Chris Stapleton, and more. While fans were disappointed to see her miss the concert, they understand that her health must come first.

Carrie's Commitment to Fitness

Carrie's recovery is particularly important because fitness plays a significant role in her life. In a recent interview, she shared her thoughts on maintaining physical activity. "My mental state is just so much better if I get out and move. If you have the opportunity, you should do that for yourself. Because it’s only going to make you a better person," she explained. While she used to work out six days a week, she's learned to adjust her routine to accommodate her busy schedule. "Sometimes it’s one or two times a week and that just kind of has to be ok. And it is ok because whatever I’m doing that’s keeping me out of the gym is important," she added. This mindset highlights her ability to prioritize and adapt, qualities that make her such an inspiring figure.
