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.

Nice to hear from you that soon!!!
I enjoy your posts even though they are a bit short.
I´m glad that the knee is finaly getting well.
I wish you all the luck in the world for this expierence!!
LOVE blessed you and take care
Best of luck. I just wanted to give a heads up...if one knee is bothering you more than the other, most likely your hips are slightly out of alignment.
there is a technique called the Desjarnettes sacral/pelvis block technique that is great. any chiropractor or osteopath, along with some physical therapists, & other allied health folks should know it.
makes me sad ya got cortisone. I'm personally against those for lots of reasons. I would love to recommend the one chiropractor that I refer all my pro/olympic folks to in Houston, but I don't want to be 'one of those spammers'.
Best of luck to you & Ty!
btw, I think you beat him, even if ya were prego :)
but make sure to only
dance when you are 100%
or things will get worse.
cant' wait to see you...
the DWTS photo's on MSN
are pretty great...
you look like a Dancer!!
also reminds me of 0304 pics...
exciting!!
Best of luck! xx

I found a web site for an Old Cowboy Singer who's house I used to hang out in as a teen. Ever heard of Doye O'Dell? Most folks I've mentioned him to haven't, so I stopped talkin bout him years ago. He had a yodellin' Swedish Cowgirl on his show in L.A. named Carolina Cotton. He was also on one episode of "I Love Lucy." Some Strange coincidences there.
A Baby might be nice.
your attitude makes you winner as well

It will be nice to see you compete and share time with your touring partners Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks. It will like a reunion together. I seen your concert tour in Pittsburgh, have to say it was one of most memorable concerts in my life ! Best of luck to you.

We enjoyed you in San Diego, Humphries,
a couple of years ago. Hope to see you
somewhere in our time zone again. Your
lyrics, your voice.
If I may. (Us old-er people have lost any
reluctance to preach, sooo.)
Be a mother a little while. Drink the
beauty of family. Remember Willie? He
fell out awhile, and now back atem. Heard
him last week on David Letterman. Beautiful.
Another favorite, Merle was gone a good time. We saw his back again concert in
San Berdoo awhile back. Better than ever.
Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, everybody came back after an extended disappearance.
DO be well, rest some,metamorphys (
We, as musicians, are not born with calluses on our fingers from our pens and guitars. And dancers aren't born with callused feet and stretchy muscles. We are all the product of what we make ourselves through the struggles we face everyday of what we choose to endure and whatever life wants to throw at us. You were not born a dancer, but you have become one!

Jaja joke joke, easy!!!
Hope you are feeling better the knee.
You have really wondered me... I saw you dancing a bit and can clearly see why you are suffering now this tendonitis, you worked very hard, Jewel! A really good job, you dance very sublte (gentle, I mean as a feather (light)) ;)
Recover well from the knee and then keep the good work, but be careful!!!
Love blessed you
I had severe pain in both knees when I ran. A trainer suggested I use a styrofoam roller to roll the "kinks" out of my hips and thighs to help reduce the stress on my knees. I thought she was crazy but it worked!!
Just lay on your side with the roller under you and roll from your hips all the way down to your knees (its painful at first). I do it before and after all of my workouts.
Good luck and hang in there!!
Please pass along to Ty that he could be a 'suprise' dance hit!
I see you're getting lots of advice here, but here is some more. NOT for your pain, but for your DANCING while you're out of commission. (from a dancer) VISUALIZATION is the key!! Sit in a chair, close your eyes, and listen to the song (over and over) and MOVE what you can, your arms, shoulders, head, etc!!
Finally, for what it's worth, I believe you have a real opportunity to win this!
Go Jewel!
Happy Saturday. Feeling better? Hope so. Take care of yourself...we like you in 1 piece! You mentioned having a "little one", a little artist girl or cowboy tyke. Your lullaby's will be perfect for the babe to fall asleep to. I can feel the Brahams Lullaby now...it making the goldfish in the belly do backflips of glee!-to borrow a line from a great poet. If you're up to it, how about a show outside at Jones Beach this summer? It's down the road from my house and I love to swim there...it's therapeutic, especially for my sinusitis. 'Nuff about me. Spring will bloom soon-the yearly re-birth of nature, flowers, trees, warm sun and vacation. Puerto Rico anyone?
My Best Always to you, Ty and the "fam",

I have very busy nights, but now that I know your on the show, I will be sure to tune in.
Sorry to hear about your knee! :-(
I really hope it feels better soon.
Take Care!
