Comedic legend Rosie O’Donnell, 50, is calling it a miracle today after she suffered a heart attack last week.
According to Rosie’s blog, she was literally saved by a TV infomercial.
Rosie’s rep, Cindi Berger, told PEOPLE:
“She is now home and resting comfortably. She is very, very lucky.”
Here’s what Rosie wrote on her blog:
last 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 car she was stuck “can u help me? she asked again as i walked toward her “oh u r rosie odonnell”.
yes i am
A few hours later my body hurt i had an ache in my chest both my arms were sore everything felt bruised muscular – i thought strained or pulled tissue i went about my day the pain persisted i became nauseous my skin was clammy i was very very hot i threw up maybe 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 literally.
Rosie is at home resting today after her heart scare last week.
