Libra Thompson from Big Brother 10 had a stroke. The former houseguest recently revealed the sad news to her friends and followers.
We met Libra in the summer of 2008 on BB10. At the time, she was a 31-year-old human resources representative from Spring, Texas.
Libra was evicted on Day 38, but she did make it to the jury phase. Everyone on the BB10 jury voted for Dan Gheesling as the winner. He became the first unanimous selection, and Memphis Garrett finished as the runner-up.
The Big Brother 10 cast also included bodybuilder Jessie Godderz, telecommunication manager Brian Hart, who would return for BB11, and waitress Keesha Smith, who would return for Big Brother: All-Stars 2 (BB22).
Libra Thompson shares her health update
“Hi Friends! After being finally able to sort through it all…I would like to thank each and everyone for reaching out and sending me well wishes!—I unfortunately experienced a stroke event on February 1st while I was in San Antonio attending a conference luckily my roommate, co-worker, and friend was there!!” Libra wrote on Instagram.
“I would like to thank the neurologist Dr. Roach and all of the staff who took care of me at Methodist Metropolitan hospital. I am most grateful that they were able to pinpoint a cause fo my stroke, although it’s was considered a cryptogenic stroke it was found to be due to me having a PFO—patent foramen ovale, which is a small hole in my heart,” she added.
She also spoke about meeting with doctors before asking for some financial help. Here is a link to a GoFundMe page that her friend Marcus Williams has started.
“I really hate asking, but pride aside, donate days would help me out tremendously! I will have considerable amount of medical bills while being on an unpaid FMLA leave and I am finding out that heart surgery is some of the most expensive around! All that being said I am so blessed that I am on the other side of this and I am on the mend!❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹. With a grateful heart! ~Libra❤️,” she finished her post.
