It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Seriously hurt. Kym Johnson, partner of Hines Ward in Dancing with the Stars, suffered a neck injury today during rehearsals for the show, and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. The video below shows her being wheeled out on a stretcher in neck brace.
The story is that Hines fell on her, and her neck took the brunt. Hines’ Facebook post suggest Kym is going to be okay, just sore. Kim herself was able to Tweet an update after the being taken to the hospital. This could not come at a worse time for the pair, who have 3 dances to perform Monday night. I wondered when the 'big one' would happen. Lately their rehearsal packages have shown Kym taking some nasty spills. I guess doing anything physical with a wide receiver is risky, let alone dancing!
Hines WardSeason 12 has certainly seen its share of injuries, no question. Kym’s injury is the third injury this season to require medical attention. First Maks’ leg, then Ralph’s knee and now this. There are 2 more weeks to go, let’s hope our stars and pros make it to the end all in one piece! At the very least, Kym will be wearing a neck brace for a while, though it is not yet known for how long. We hope Kym recovers quickly and is able to continue in the competition without compromising her health.
I want to update you on my partner Kym. Kym was admitted to the hospital today after falling and injuring her neck during our practice. After several tests, she was cleared by the medical staff but she is bruised, sore and wearing a neck brace right now. Kym plans to continue with me in the competition and get back to rehearsals as soon as possible. Steeler Nation - please show her some love. She is awesome! Hines
