She alsoposted a photoof her hospital dinner: a salad and a diet soda on a tray.
Glanville first shared the trouble she was having with her father on Tuesday, tweeting a photo of her inflamed and stiff hand.
“My little piggy hoofer has an infected bite of some kind (not human) spending my day at ER I wanted to leave but they said I could lose a limb so I’m chilling -ON A TUESDAY!!!!” she wrote in another tweet, hours later.
This isn’t Glanville’s only health scare recently. In March, she said she’d suffered second-degree burns from an at-home psoriasis treatment in an Instagram post after outlets criticized her appearance following an Instagram Live.
