"So, Looks like I have a rib out of place and my muscles are in spasm. I am being very proactive in healing up so I can continue this journey," the double-amputee snowboarding champion tweeted Tuesday.
"Please keep the positive healing thoughts and votes coming!!! #purdyhough #dontstopwontstop #DWTS."
Purdy was rushed to the hospital after taking the stage for a rumba routine with her professional partner Derek Hough. She couldn't even compete in the "Team Dance" round of competition.
"Thank you all for the support & well wishes, what a night! I'll update you tomorrow, time for me to get some rest #PurdyHough," Purdy tweeted Monday night. "Sorry we couldn't do our live performance tonight #TeamLoca, but we kicked ass in rehearsal!"

Dancing with the Stars' eighteenth-season contestants must have upped their game when preparing for this week's "Latin Night." Ironically, Danica McKellar broke a rib while rehearsing with her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, while Charlie White also felt something catch in his knee when performing with his partner Sharna Burgess.
