She credited her husband Kroy, friend Niki Toney-Pressley, daughter Brielle and Brielle's boyfriend Slade Osborne with saving her life.
The 37 year old posted a photo of herself in hospital, alongside the caption: “The last 24hrs have been whirlwind! I landed yesterday morning from LAX (took the red eye right after DWTS) I got home and within minutes suffered a TIA (mini stroke) the left side of my body went completely numb and my speech was gone.
“I have 100% of my feeling back THANK GOD. Still in the hospital but I just know I'm getting released today!”
What is a TIA?
A mini stroke, medically known as a transient ischemic attack, occurs when blood flow to the brain stops for a short period of time. It mimics the symptoms of an actual stroke but generally lasts for just 24 hours. These attacks do not generally cause any brain damage, though they can be indicators and warning signs that the individual will suffer an actual stroke in the future.
