Ouch, meniscus tears hurt, poor Nancy.

And...how on earth did Jewel break BOTH of her legs? Ballroom dancing is vigorous, but still...

I know, so sad for both of them! ouch!!!!

I can't post the Jewel link in the comment section, but this is from her website, "The doctors told me that not one, but both of my legs were fractured!! He said my left one was particularly bad, and that I had to not only stop dancing, but stop walking and use crutches!!! He said I had just over done it with the rehearsals and training over the past few weeks and so my muscles became fatigued and transferred the overload of stress to the bones in my leg - causing the stress fractures! He says that type of injury can happen when athletes step up the amount or intensity of their training. Typical me- I throw myself 1000% into anything I do- that's how I went from being homeless to where I am today- but I just had no idea I could over-do dancing!
Shock does not begin to describe it. I am heartbroken to say I will not be competing in this season of Dancing With the Stars. I'm sad I won't get to go through the rest of the experience competing with my husband, Ty."

So sad!!!
