NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Luke Bryan's wife Caroline Boyer posted about going through an "unexpected hip surgery" on her Instagram earlier this week on Tuesday, November 15. The 42-year-old has now shared an update with her fans clarifying how she ended up in a wheelchair. 

Caroline previously shared a photo of herself giving two thumbs up from her hospital bed at the Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee. The post also included a video of her close pals taking care of her with one friend showing off a black tee that read "Straight Outta Hip Surgery" in reference to the 1988 NWA album 'Straight Outta Compton', according to People. She captioned the post, "Well… unexpected hip surgery…. but I got the best care and surrounded by the most selfless friends ever!"

Incidentally, just a few days ago the celebrity wife was seen attending the CMA awards with her husband Luke, who was a co-host along with Peyton Manning, as per Heavy. After the news of the surgery, fans brimmed the comment section with concern about her well-being while a few jokingly blamed Luke.

With Caroline's 1.1 million fans wondering how she ended up in such a situation, the mother of five took to her Instagram Stories to give an explanation. "Finally getting out after a long week and these days I’m not walking, I am rolling in this," she said in reference to her wheelchair while a friend walked alongside Caroline as she rolled herself down a long sidewalk. "But I want to give an explanation," she added. "I know I said ‘unexpected’ surgery. It wasn’t unexpected. I just wasn’t ready to accept it. I’ve known for a month I had to have it, so there was no emergency, no fall, no car wreck."

"I had a torn labrum, hip dysplasia, and a lot of arthritis. And so…it had gotten so bad that we just had to fix it. So that’s it. But I will do whatever they tell me to do to get better and get back out…because this not being able to move is not for me," Caroline concluded as she finally broke the silence about the situation.

Caroline also posted a fun boomerang of her getting some fresh air outside the house in her wheelchair. It is likely that the 'Country Girl' singer will be taking some time off to take care of his wife and his schedule surely agrees to it. The ABC series 'American Idol' has wrapped up its auditions and the 'Hollywood Week' for season 23 will not commence filming until December. Moreover, he is not scheduled to perform until November 30.
