Dancing With the Stars saved Jennifer Grey’s life

Dancing with the Stars has returned for season 11 on Sept. 20 on , and the remainder of the cast has been introduced. The show is going to star Bristol Palin, “The Situation,” David Hasslhoff, Audrina Patridge and Brandy, as it was announced by media leaks a week ago. NJ.com reports the rest of the star-studded cast will contain: standup comic and potential Bristol Palin-The Situation love triangle raider Margaret Cho; previous “Brady Bunch” mom Florence Henderson; Vanessa Williams’ spouse Rick Fox; semi-balding on-again, off-again Nicollette Sheridan man toy Michael Bolton; and “Baby” from “Dirty Dancing,” Jennifer Grey. Jennifer Grey is a shoe in to win this season of DWTS. She may have had her life saved by Dancing With the Stars.

Jennifer Grey got herself into a bad auto accident

Years ago, Jennifer Grey was in a car accident. She thought there was no way she could dance again. Grey talked to Zap2It. She explained that she talked to a neurological spine surgeon since she was having really bad pain in her neck. She had wanted to be on DWTS for years and had heard that the surgeon had worked on dancer Karina Smirnoff, so Grey scheduled an appointment.

Grey had some torn ligaments in her neck because of the accident. Evidently nobody had treated her correctly. Grey was told by the surgeon that her spinal cord was compressed because of the degenerated condition. Grey would be permanently paralyzed with any minor shift from a blow. So Grey had her neck fused. In the process of that procedure, the doctor certain her to have a benign nodule removed.

Jennifer Grey is cancer-free and has a great new neck

Now she is able to take the floor for “Dancing With the Stars.” Jennifer Grey only went through treatment for the show. That is how Dancing With the Stars saved her life.

“I was so frightened of the surgery, I didn’t want to even consider that it would be successful. And it was so successful, I proceeded to do everything else on my ‘to-do’ list that I was afraid of, including doing this show,” Grey told Zap2It. “I figure that if I don’t do it now, I’ll be too old for it. My body is clearly giving out.”
