Terrazas was still in critical condition Monday after undergoing 11 hours of surgery and suffering fractures to both her legs and arms, the New York Post reports.

Neighbors in the building saw Terrazas performing an upside-down pose on the balcony.

According to doctors, it may be three years before Terrazas can walk again due to the extent of her injuries.
