GOP Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is back on the campaign trail just days after undergoing emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in her leg, as she thanked well-wishers for their ‘prayers and support’.
The 37-year-old, who is facing a tough re-election campaign in a new district, is now back meeting voters - with her team hailing her as a ‘tough lady’ who is ‘earning every vote’.
She was admitted to a Colorado hospital Monday, complaining of severe swelling in the upper part of her left leg, according to her campaign.
There, she was diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome, a rare vascular condition that affects a vein in the pelvis and can cause deep vein thrombosis, which her spokesman suggested her condition could be caused by sitting down too much.
She was quickly admitted for surgery to remove the clot that day, with a stent fitted Tuesday morning - but has since declared ‘I’m not slowing down!’
...her condition could be caused by sitting down too much...
Prayers for her full recovery.
