Hough in surgery
Utah ballroom dancer and country singer Julianne Hough may have to drop out of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," as she's scheduled for surgery today.Hough had complained of stomach pains last week, and was replaced by Edyta Sliwinska as dance partner to "Hannah Montana" co-star Cody Linley on Monday night's competition. According to this Associated Press report, Hough, 20, has been diagnosed with endomitriosis, in which tissue from the uterus lining grows outside the uterus. If untreated, it can cause painful cysts and possibly infertility.
To battle the condition, Hough will have her appendix moved in a minor surgical procedure today, she said on her web site. She plans to be back dancing on next week's show.

Odd. I'm not going to argue with her doctors, but I have endometriosis, and have had 6 surgeries because of it. While it's possible that the cysts might grow on a girl's appendix, the surgery usually involves removing the cyst, not the organs. If they're removing her appendix over this, either the doctor doesn't know what he's doing, or she's got some really advanced endometriosis, that should have been diagnosed long before now. For her sake, I hope it's not the doctor. Then again, if I have another surgery, it'll be by one of the two doctors nationwide who seem to know what they're doing - one in Georgia, the other in Washington state.
