Another Clot
Doctors diagnosed Glendon Rusch with a blood clot in his lung:
Cubs reliever Glendon Rusch was diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung and will miss the rest of the season. A team trainer said the condition was not life-threatening.
Rusch was sent to Northwestern Memorial Hospital during Tuesday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"He is out of danger," Cubs trainer Mark O'Neal said.
Both my mother and mother-in-law survived these. My mom had a genetic form of emphysema and could barely breathe anyway. We don't know how she pulled through that. My mother-in-law had pneumonia and developed a clot (or the other way around, we're not sure). She vomited after breakfast one morning, called her doctor, and he had her rushed to the hospital. She suffered no ill effects. Let's hope the same is true for Rusch.
