Amy Purdy reunited and danced with former ‘DWTS’ partner Derek Hough four years after she had 10 leg surgeries
Paralympian Amy Purdy is thankful she can walk — and dance with Derek Hough — again after a major health scare.
Purdy shared a video of her dancing with a shirtless Hough, 38, as he practiced for his Symphony of Dance tour. The pair previously competed together during the 18th season of DWTS in 2014 and finished in second place. In February 2019, Purdy developed a “massive blood clot” and was forced to choose between saving her kidney or her leg.
She continued, “Because of how active I am in my prosthetics wearing them 12-18 hours a day, I have developed a massive blood clot from my hip to the bottom of my leg. The diagnoses came yesterday & knocked my family & I to the floor physically, mentally & emotionally. We believe the clot came from the pressure of my prosthetic pressing behind my knee where many arteries lie.”
