Zolciak-Biermann insisted that she’s okay and would like to continue dancing in the competition for a few more days. She explained that her doctor did not permit her to fly. “Kim, my thought is, um, I hope you’re not fibbing about this stroke”. “I am now home with my family, resting and taking care of my health”, she said in a statement to Us Weekly on Sunday. “If they wanted to have her come back, I’d absolutely be fine with that”, he said.

But the mini-stroke, which was caused by a blood clot, led to her premature departure from the show.
In a recent interview on the popular dancing competition series Dovolani assured viewers that Zolciak had in fact suffered from a transient ischemic attack (TIA), or mini-stroke.
“I can dance. I just can’t fly”, Zolciak emphasized.
“I feel really great”, said the former Real Housewives star.
“I think the show handled it right”, said Alfonso.
Zolciak has been updating her fans via Instagram, posting photos from her hospital bed throughout the ordeal.
Now that Kim Zolciak, 37, has been eliminated from Dancing With The Stars, following a mini-stroke, we can’t help but wonder if someone will replace her on the show. “I was cleared to dance on Friday when I was discharged from the hospital, so Saturday morning I was up rehearsing not even 12 hrs after”, she wrote. When the news broke the star of Bravo’s “Don’t Be Tardy” retweeted a story featuring the Wendy Williams Show hosts comments from her Hot Topics segment.
If it doesn’t work, you better believe Kim will be back on that ballroom before a victor is officially crowned. Via Skype on live TV, she told the show if she had lived closer to Los Angeles, like Las Vegas, she could have driven there and was ready to go.
Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays, 8 p.m. on ABC.
