We're happy to report that Miranda Cosgrove is fully recovered.

The iCarly starlet was out of commission for several months after a scary tour bus accident left her with a broken ankle.

And although she's happy and healthy now, Cosgrove says the accident almost scarred her from ever hitting the road again.

"I was so excited to get my license and I was already a little behind with it," the 18-year-old starlet told us last night at Ashley Greene's Lucky magazine cover party at Soho House in West Hollywood. "And I got scared for a second after the accident."

Luckily, Cosgrove managed to get over her fear of the road. "Now I have my license and I'm totally into driving," she said. "It makes me a safe driver."

The Nickelodeon star says it's "really fun" to finally be back on set working with her iCarly castmates. "I was so bored for a while, I just watched Keeping Up With the Kardashians and I laid in bed," she laughed. "And then I started cleaning out my whole room and doing a whole bunch of boring stuff. So I'm super excited to be back."

Since returning to the show, Cosgrove got to work with First Lady Michelle Obama, who recently filmed a cameo. "It was crazy," she dished. "There was Secret Service everywhere. It was really cool to have her guest star. We never thought we'd get to have Michelle Obama on the show."

So will President Barack Obama guest star next?

"I don't know," she said, smiling. "That would be amazing!"
