Rosie O’Donnell’s poem reveals she has suffered a heart attack
Talkshow host Rosie O’Donnell has written a poem where she reveals that she suffered from a heart attack after she helped a large woman out of a car.
My Heart Attack
its a semi-sunny monday
the light bouncing off the flat hudson
mish is sitting next to me
i am happy to be alivelast week i had a heart attack
here is what happened
on tuesday morning
while walking in a parking lot in nyack
i heard a loud commanding voice“can u help me”
more of a demand than request
a challenge – a plea
i turned and saw an enormous woman
struggling to get out of her carshe was stuck
“can u help me? she asked again
as i walked toward her
“oh u r rosie odonnell”
yes i amthe ghost of christmas future
me – if i did not wake
there r no accidents i thought
as i braced myself and lifted herit was not easy
but together we did it
she was up and on her way
with gratitudea few hours later my body hurt
i had an ache in my chest
both my arms were sore
everything felt bruisedmuscular – i thought
strained or pulled tissue
i went about my day
the pain persistedi became nauseous
my skin was clammy
i was very very hot
i threw upmaybe this is a heart attack
i googled womens heart attack symptoms
i had many of them
but really? – i thought – naaaai took some bayer aspirin
thank god
saved by a tv commercial
literallyi did not call 911
50% of women having heart attacks never call 911
200,000 women die of heart attacks
every year in the USby some miracle i was not one of them
the next day i went to a cardiologist
the dr did an EKG and sent me to the hospital
where a stent was put inmy LAD was 99% blocked
they call this type of heart attack
the Widow maker
i am lucky to be hereknow the symptoms ladies
listen to the voice inside
the one we all so easily ignore
CALL 911save urself
