Reyes will be on crutches for a few weeks

Judy Reyes, who plays sassy nurse Carla on the medical comedy "Scrubs," found herself visiting the hospital in real life.

The actress had fallen accidentally at home and fractured her pelvis on Wednesday, Sept. 20, reports People.

At first, Reyes didn't think her injury was that serious and even went into work the next day.

"She had surgery to repair it on Thursday," says spokesperson Monique Ward. "She didn't realize it was as bad as it was and still went to work. Once there, she realized she needed medical treatment. She went to a hospital from the set. She's going to be fine."

Reyes will be released from the hospital on Monday.

Although she'll be on crutches for the next six weeks, she'll continue to shoot a few of the less taxing scenes, while the filming schedule is rearranged so she can complete the remainder later.

Reyes, 37, is also known for playing Tina Rivera on "Oz" and a homeless woman in the Hallmark Channel's "Our House" telefilm.
