After a painful series of mishaps during her week of rehearsals, Jodie Sweetin hit the Dancing With the Stars stage on Monday and delivered a powerhouse performance.
While preparing for their contemporary routine re-enacting the destructive, emotional dance from the music video for Pink’s 2012 single “Try,” Sweetin suffered a few painful injuries.

First, she almost broke her nose while being lifted by her pro partner, Keo Motsepe. Then, rehearsals ground to a halt when Sweetin slipped up, causing Motsepe to fall back on her, wrenching her ankle. Sweetin even had to be rushed to a hospital following the accident.
For a while, it seemed almost impossible that she would be able to continue on competing on DWTS. Luckily, doctors gave her the all-clear, as she didn’t actually fracture her ankle. However, the injury did require Sweetin and Motsepe to rethink a few of their moves so as to not put too much strain on her already-strained ankle.
Fortunately for the pair, they ended up delivering a spectacular performance that was near perfection.

From twirls to lifts to dancing on furniture (and Motsepe even crashing through a breakaway table), their performance was one of the night’s greatest highlights. The partners ended up earning a score of 25 out of 30 for their ambitious efforts.
Sweetin wasn’t the only star battling injury this week. The Facts of Life actress Kim Fields was also struggling with a serious ankle strain during rehearsals with her partner, Sasha Farber.

Despite the damage, Fields refused to let it hold her back, and the two pulled off a super-fun jive of “You Can’t Stop The Beat” from Hairspray. The high-energy dance earned them a formidable score of 24.
