Calling it a "miracle" she's still alive, Rosie O'Donnell suffered a heart attack last week and is now recovering at home.
O'Donnell, 50, credited her survival to quick Internet research on her painful symptoms and a Bayer aspirin she had seen recommended in ads.
"Thank god/saved by a tv commercial/literally," she wrote Monday in her usual verse form on her blog.
O'Donnell said she had a stent inserted after doctors found that her coronary artery was 99 percent blocked. In a statement on Monday, her rep Cindi Berger tells WHO Magazine, "She is now home and resting comfortably. She is very, very lucky."
"They call this type of heart attack/the Widow Maker/i am lucky to be here," she wrote.
Earlier this month, O'Donnell, 50, shared the news that her fiancée Michelle Rounds was diagnosed with desmoid tumors, a very rare affliction.
O'Donnell said her own health problems started on Aug. 14 after she helped "an enormous woman" struggling to get out of her car in a parking lot in Nyack, N.Y.
A few hours later, her chest ached, both arms felt sore as if they were bruised, she became nauseous, and had clammy skin.
"maybe this is a heart attack," she wrote. "i googled womens heart attack symptoms/i had many of them/but really? – i thought – naaaa."
She took the aspirin recommended for people who think they are suffering a heart attack but didn't call 911. She said that hundreds of thousands of women die each year of heart attacks and that many never dial the emergency number.
"by some miracle i was not one of them," she wrote, adding: "know the symptoms ladies/listen to the voice inside/the one we all so easily ignore/CALL 911/save urself."

Not really when it points out the systems one could have with the onset of a heart attack. It could actually help save someone's life.

ReplyWhat a bunch of nasty comments. You people have no shame. Social media has a lot to answer for. Give people freedom of speech & they just spew vitriolic rubbish!
ReplyIf Rosie truly believes that GOD saved her, with a MIRACLE, then she should repay HIM by REPENTING her SINS, and SURRENDERING her LIFE to JESUS, the ONE TRUE LIVING GOD, who makes it very clear, in HIS WORD, the BIBLE, that homosexuality is a SIN, one that JESUS died for, on the CROSS. gay is NOT ok, but GOD loves the sinner, and HATES the sin. Of course we all have FREE WILL, to CHOOSE right from wrong, and no human has ever been born gay, it is a life CHOICE, that people make, either because of sexual abuse in childhood / adolescence, or out of insecurity, or peer group pressure, especially in the 21st century, in which the ' gay mafia ' are spreading their lies everywhere, BULLYING people, especially bible believing CHRISTIANS. I pray that Rosie will SEE THE TRUE LIGHT, and give her heart to JESUS, who is more than able to set her FREE from the delusion of ' being gay ', which is a LIE from the devil. JESUS IS LORD.
