The 'Big Bang Theory' star recalled signing an amputation waiver after a horseback riding accident that landed her in emergency surgery.
In 2010, Cuoco, an equestrian, fell off her horse and the animal landed on her left leg. She was rushed to the hospital where Lorre happened to run into Dr. Stephen Lombardo, a highly regarded orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Lombardo facilitated a quick operation “with the best surgeons available,”“Before I went into surgery, they made me sign something 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,’” she said in the excerpt.
Kaley Cuoco, pictured performing in a 2014 competition in Los Angeles, faced amputation after a 2010 horseback riding accident.“That wasn’t the case, obviously, but I had to sign something that said, ‘OK, you can,’” Cuoco added. “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’s still too much for me to go into, and it sounded way worse than it was.
