I dislike her intensely, but feel empathy for her and wouldn’t wish heart disease on anyone. Especially since I have a heart cath & possible stents next Thursday.
I am a 54 yr old female who is 120 lbs w/o diabetes and have been fit. So you never know, women have different symptoms then the classic male symptoms.
Prayers up that your procedure goes well.
Sending prayers your way—so many, many factors play a roll in heart disease. Genetics being one.
Two years ago July,
My husband was 52, coaching our youngest son’s tournament baseball team (he was throwing BP to 12 year olds). Thought he had pulled a muscle; but the pain intensified. Then he kept feeling sicker to his stomach. I came home from work and somehow (still don’t know how it all fell into place) drive him to the ER. He had a 100% blockage of his LAD (what Rosie had) and was “having a heart attack.”. He was Coded in the ER and had emergency surgery (stents—just like RO’D). He has had a few set backs but is in good health now.
The thing is—and given what our family has been thru—we don’t know G-d’s plan. Maybe the Lord is working thru Rosie to help spread the knowledge of HA symptoms and what to do. Seriously—a teammate of my sons (the team my husband was pitching too) his dad awoke months later with similar symptoms—the boy said to his mom “remember what happened with Coach X?—they called EMS and the dad WAS having a HA (he survived and is well today too!)
One life, one recounting of a story, can touch so many others. I disagree with Rosie politically, but applaud (and send prayers her way) for cing forward with the knowledge of HAs.
Seeker—you will be fine. The procedures and meds today do wonderful things—thats why we have to keep medical care as it is NOW and NO ObamaCare!
I wish you long life life’s happiness seeker.

I absolutely agree 100%! I don’t wish ill health on anyone. And like you, I detest O’Donnell. Hell, at least Roseanne grows Macadamias.
BTW, three sets of stents and a (mild?) heart attack for me in the last six months. Cath and stenting is a piece of cake and you’ll feel WAY better once your heart starts working properly again. Only hard part is laying flat on your back afterwards for a bunch of hours to avoid the risk of the Femoral artery popping open from where the cath was inserted. Arrange up front with your doc to keep you heavily medicated throughout that ordeal so your whole body doesn’t go into one giant muscle spasm. Morphine then is good. So is a big dose of a benzo if it’s a drug you’re willing to take.
Afterwards, it’s Plavix and an aspirin every day for a year to reduce risk of drug-eluting stents from clotting. You’ll probably easily bruise from that, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the alternative.
Good luck, feel better, and live longer!
