In an excerpt from The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series, Kaley Cuoco recalled a horrifying horse riding incident that almost forced doctors to amputate her leg back in 2010. Before the surgery, she had to sign a document that said, “We don’t know until we get in there and see this leg, and it could come out that you don’t have it anymore.” So the actress was mentally prepared that she will lose her leg.

However, the surgery went well, and thankfully she did not lose her leg. She said,

“Everything ended up fine, and I was up and working a week later, but the doctors acted like I was never going to walk again. It sounded way worse than it was. It was spiraling and everyone was freaking out, which I get. It scared people.”

At the time, the actress was a part of The Big Bang Theory. The injury forced her to sit out two episodes as it took her two weeks to get better.
