Default Jewel Injured in rehearsal for DWTS

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."

Jewel had this to say about it in her blog on www.JewelJK.com. She even discusses that if she got pregnant while filming the show, that it would be a good thing.

Recovering and resting
Posted in From Jewel on February 26, 2009

So, I went to the physical therapist yesterday and I can say that I am feeling better! He said if I take time now to heal that I will be good to go by next week. I hate missing these days, but it's all for the best in the long run, because I'm in it for the long haul and I wanna win it!

Ty and Chelsea are taking advantage of out-practicing me now! Haha.... We don't really feel that competitive against each other, we really just feel supportive and sympathetic for how hard the process is, and we are glad to share it together; but we do like to joke about it being a race. Like yesterday on the Billy Bush show, Ty said that he thinks his best chance of beating me is if I get pregnant during the show so I would be too tired to dance! Talk about a strategy! Haha... Of course, that would be fine with me if it did happen, so either way would be a win!

Anyway, I'm excited to get back to work next week dancing, hopefully it didn't cause me to get too far behind all the other contestants- I only had 3 weeks to prepare, and now it will be only 2 weeks - which isn't much considering how much I have to learn. All I can do is what I'm doing and to try and have fun- which I am! I will enjoy the days off to hang with my husband, and our family.... Anyway, talk to you soon and thank for your well wishes. I will keep u all posted! See you March 9th for my first dance.

Ow, poor Jewel. I'm getting Sky+ in (what we have here instead of tivo) so I don't miss a minute of the DWTS action. Imagine if she got pregnant!
