Dancing With The Stars Champ, Jennifer Grey Having Surgery For Dance Injury
In case you missed the season finale of Dancing With The Stars (you’re a loser!), before she went on to dance, Jennifer Grey told Tom Bergeron that she ruptured a disc in her back the night before when she was dancing. The doctors didn’t think she should compete, but she went for it anyhow and it obviously paid off!
Well, now Jennifer has to get surgery to repair the disc in her back.
“It’s just going to be like a little surgery where they take out the ruptured disc thing, and you know, it won’t be a big deal,” she says. “Compared to the other surgeries I had on my neck, my doctor says it won’t be a big deal. I’ll be home that night. I got to tell you, the win and the experience of doing – more the experience of doing Dancing with the Stars – already, like I don’t even remember the pain I was in a week ago,” she says. “I just have some discomfort in [my] back that needs to be taken care of … Okay, it’s a little more than discomfort.”
Jennifer had surgery last year thanks to the chronic pain she was suffering from due to a 1987 car accident. It was during that procedure that she discovered her thyroid cancer. Can you believe that she has been through all of that and went out there and won DWTS? And she looks amazing. What a strong woman. I have so much respect for her.
Jennifer will be having her surgery in the next week or so. Our thoughts are with you for a speedy recovery!
