Actress and comedian Kate Micucci’s recent health scare took her by surprise.
“Hey everybody. This is not a TikTok, it’s a ‘Sick Tok.’ I’m in the hospital but it’s because I had lung cancer surgery yesterday,” Micucci, 43, revealed in a recent TikTok upload, which was filmed from her hospital bed. “They caught it really early. It’s pretty weird because I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life, so it was a surprise, but also, I guess it happens.”
Micucci — known for her role as Lucy on The Big Bang Theory and as one half of the musical duo Garfunkel and Oates with Riki Lindhome — noted that she’s “all good” post-surgery, largely thanks to doctors catching the cancer at an early stage.
“It’s been a little bit of a trip and [I’ll] probably be moving slow for a few weeks, but then, I’ll be back at it. Can’t wait to be painting more, which I’ll be painting soon, I think,” she continued, before joking, “Why am I still talking? ‘Cause I’m on drugs.”
Micucci’s post featured a photo of herself holding up a cereal box and a banana while lying in bed, as well as a clip of her walking around the hospital in a gown with her IV drip. “Woo hoo!” she exclaimed as she walked down a hallway. “I gotta say, the artwork here is pretty nice.”
Several fans sent their well-wishes for the star in the TikTok’s comments. “First things first, glad you are OK, be strong, be you a happy person, for all of us,” one user wrote, while another commented, “National Treasure Kate Micucci … feel better fast!!!!!
