JEWEL INJURED IN DANCE REHEARSALS
Singer JEWEL’s bid for dancing glory as a contestant on the upcoming season of U.S. TV show DANCING WITH THE STARS has taken a hit - she has suffered a knee injury.
The newlywed, who is scheduled to compete with husband Ty Murray on the show, has revealed she’s hobbling around the rehearsal studio in a blog to fans.
She writes, "I guess I really over did it on the rehearsal front! My knees have been hurting so badly that I finally broke down and talked to Ty’s knee doctor… He said I have tendonitis (sic) in my knees and that I have to start a course of medicine to try and bring the swelling down.
"It’s mainly my left knee, and I can’t believe I hurt it so badly… Ty warned me I was overdoing it, and now he got a big ol’ ‘I told you so’ in. The worst part is that I can’t rehearse for the next couple days." But the singer/songwriter insists she’s enjoying all the preparation work for the new show, which begins next month (Mar09).
She adds, "It was just so fun to dance eight hours a day, especially considering I only had three weeks to cram not only for my first dance - cha cha - but to learn the fundamentals of about six other dances that I will have to know.
"Now I’m just worried I won’t even be able to dance! Hopefully these steroids will really do the trick and I can keep bad flare ups at a bay in the future."
