- Kaley Cuoco married Karl Cook on Saturday, June 30.
- Just five days later, both posted photos of Cuoco recovering from shoulder surgery.
- "Everyone has their own version of a newlywed glow," Cook wrote on Instagram, joking that his wife's version is "memorable" and adding the hashtag "#shouldersurgeryhoneymoon."
Just five days ago, Kaley Cuoco stunned in a caped gown — and later in a lace Tadashi Shoji jumpsuit — on her beautiful wedding day with equestrian Karl Cook. Now, the recent bride is enduring what appears to be an uncomfortable recovery from an ill-timed shoulder surgery.
On Thursday, "The Big Bang Theory" star posted a selfie taken by her new husband, featuring Cuoco looking miserable in a hospital bed.
"When your 'honeymoon' is shoulder surgery and your husband looks just as happy lol on the road to recovery — thank you for all the love and support!" she wrote on Instagram. "Knowing @mrtankcook I'm sure he will be posting tons of hilarious gems."
A second photo shows an exhausted Cuoco recovering on a sofa, apparently sporting some kind of sling.

For his part, Cook tried to lighten the mood with a close-up shot of Cuoco.
"Everyone has their own version of a newlywed glow," he wrote, joking that his wife's version is "memorable" and adding the hashtag "#shouldersurgeryhoneymoon."
Cuoco's fans also rushed to comfort her in the comments.
"You guys are gonna do great with the married life ❤️ Sending love and prayers for @normancook!" one person wrote.
"Sorry — this sucks!! It's a story to tell those guys and you'll laugh about it (eventually!) I had wisdom tooth extraction surgery the first day we arrived to our Thailand Honeymoon!! We are just testing the ‘sickness and in health' vows!" another shared.
"Hope this wasn't the result of a fall. Get well soon! I know the @mrtankcook photos will be epic!" another fan wrote.
It's unclear exactly what caused Cuoco's need for surgery or if the couple plans to take a real honeymoon at a later date. Luckily, it seems that the newlyweds are taking this turn of events in stride — and a healthy dose of humor always makes a relationship's obstacles more manageable.
