Kaley Cuoco nearly lost a leg after an equestrian accident in September 2010.

The actress recalled the “devastating” incident in a new excerpt of “The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series” (via People.)

Before going into surgery, the “Flight Attendant” star had to sign a document saying, “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.’”

Although “that wasn’t the case” in the end, Cuoco, 36, did have to give doctors permission to possibly amputate.

“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,” she said. “It sounded way worse than it was.

“It was spiraling and everyone was freaking out, which I get,” the Emmy nominee continued. “It scared people.”
