Dancing with the Stars ' Misty May-Treanor , who had to bow out of the competition after injuring her Achilles tendon, is recovering after surgery, her rep said in a statement on Tuesday.
"Thanks for all your concern and well wishes for Misty," Treanor's rep told Usmagazine.com .
"I wanted to let you all know Misty had a successful surgery on her ruptured Achilles this morning," the rep added. "She is currently at home recovering. Her husband, Matt, is with her."
The two-time Olympic gold medalist appeared at the end of Monday's show on crutches and with a cast on her leg to announce she had injured herself while rehearsing Friday, and would be withdrawing from the competition.
"I heard a pop," said May-Treanor. "I was doing the Lindy Hop. I thought I flew out of control and hit the judges' stairs, or it felt like I got hit in the back with a baseball bat. Then, I just couldn't put weight on it."
