Doctors successfully removed the clot and inserted a stent for Boebert, who is expected to make a full recovery.
Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert underwent emergency surgery to remove a blood clot that she received due to a rare condition known as May-Thurner Syndrome, her campaign said.
She experienced severe swelling in her upper left leg and was admitted to the hospital in Loveland, Colo., on Monday afternoon, her campaign said late Tuesday evening on Facebook.
The congresswoman underwent a CT Scan and doctors discovered an acute blood clot and diagnosed her with May-Thurner Syndrome, which is a condition that impacts blood flow in the pelvis, according to Cleveland Clinic.
"An exact cause is unknown, but dehydration, travel, and extended periods of sitting have all been identified as potential factors in causing symptoms of May-Thurner Syndrome," the campaign said.
Doctors successfully removed the clot and inserted a stent for Boebert on Tuesday morning. She is expected to make a full recovery and be able to completely perform her duties in Congress.
"I'm looking forward to making a full recovery and getting back to Congress to continue fighting for Colorado," Boebert said.
The congresswoman's hospitalist, Dr. Rebecca Bade of the UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies, said: "Patients with May-Thurner Syndrome who undergo the procedure to restore blood flow are able to live and work just as they have in the past after a brief recovery."
clots == vaxx
What a mystery this is.
I got a blood clot in my knee 12 days after a car accident 8 months ago and my leg swelled up like a balloon and I couldn’t walk. Doctor sent me straight to the emergency room... they gave me a shot and scrip for Eliquis. Clot is almost all gone now, getting another Ultrasound next week to check.
She’s an idiot
and I’m convinced that she got the jab(s).
“While it’s possible that Boebert may have been joking with her tweet”
Only an opposition partisan or an idiot would believe otherwise.
I had a 6 inch clot back in 2020, before CoVid, and they put me on Eliquis for 2 months................
If she’s an idiot, I wish we had more idiots on our side. Her lifetime voting record per Heritage is 92% Conservative.
Probably had to get the clot shot to travel.

Additionally, she lives at a higher altitude (5,500+ feet above sea level) (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifle,_Colorado). This creates issues from extra red blood cells and other compensations with the cardiovascular system that may, or may not, be helpful for the long term.
The article you link here is a left wing hit piece on Boebert. It is obvious to me that she was making fun of the Vaccine Karens that insist on everyone getting the covid vaccine. “You know, it doesn’t work unless everyone takes it”.
Well Good Feckin’ Morning to you all, too! Don’t hold off on the slings and arrows, we have an idiot pedo President to protect!
Good morning it is, then.
I used to take the inexpensive coumadin, but switched to expensive Eliquis because monthly lab tests are not required with Eliquis.
It is very important that the wackos travel to Colorado to tell those docs the disorder described has been in the literature for 20+ years ONLY BECAUSE the Covid Vax was secretly in Tetanus shots given over those decades. That will teach them a lesson.
Had one after surgery once, a deep vein thrombosis I thi k they called it- wow did that suckered hurt. Took a long time to h3al too. I didn’t have the swelling Lauren had, but it sounds like it must have been really painful
Yes, did she get jabbed? Full recovery wishes for her.

Are you so dense that you can’t see she was being sarcastic?
My money is on the shot
