Libra Thompson, famous for her time on Big Brother 10, is navigating a challenging recovery after experiencing a stroke. The health scare struck on February 1 while she was in San Antonio for a conference. Fortunately, her roommate was there to support her, and medical professionals quickly identified that the stroke was caused by a patent foramen ovale—essentially a small hole in her heart.

Thompson expressed gratitude for the care she received at Methodist Metropolitan Hospital, but the aftermath is proving difficult. With unpaid medical leave and rising bills from the hospital, she’s turned to her community for help by asking friends to donate leave days. While her health challenges were unexpected, she’s thankful for the silver lining—being on the path to recovery and feeling blessed.

Navigating this experience has shown Thompson the importance of community support, and she’s certainly not holding back in sharing her journey. As she recovers, it reminds us all how unpredictable life can be, just like her fellow housemates back in the Big Brother house, where drama often comes in waves. It’s a tough road ahead, but at least this reality star has the heart to face it!
