Kristin Chenoweth needs a little more time to mend.

The actress, 44, is leaving CBS' The Good Wife — on which she had a recurring role — after an onset injury in July.

"It is with deep regret to inform everyone that due to my injuries, I am unable to return to The Good Wife at this time," Chenoweth told Us Weekly on Monday. "[I'm] getting better slowly, and thank you everyone for your concern."

The award-winning star sustained a hit on her head after being hit with a piece of lighting equipment — which collapsed from a large gust of wind on the Brooklyn set of the show in early July.

Paramedics responded to a 911 call and treated her on set with a neck brace. The Broadway star was put on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital.
