Yikes! Neck injuries must be common in the dance profession.. Karina had neck surgery not long ago. Hope he’s ok!

Christine April 1st, 2008

Wow, I hope that this isn’t the start of bad things to come. Last season there was bad things happening to people on the show like crazy. Marie Osmond passed out then lost her dad. Then, Jane Seymour lost her mom. I hope that this was just an accident & not the start of bad things to start this season. Get well soon, Derek!!

Derek,
Get well, but you need to take care of yourself first. Been in your situation and didn’t listen to the Doc. A year latter had three disc fused in my neck and they go into the front of your neck to get to those discs.
