Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert recently underwent emergency surgery for a blood clot in her leg and was diagnosed with May-Thurner syndrome. The Congresswoman was admitted to UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland after experiencing severe swelling in her upper left leg. Following a CT Scan, doctors identified an acute blood clot and diagnosed her with the rare May-Thurner Syndrome, which disrupts blood flow.
Boebert, who is currently seeking a third term, underwent surgery to remove the clot and insert a stent to address her symptoms. While it remains uncertain if she will be able to return to Washington, DC, for votes next week, her campaign statement assured that she is expected to make a full recovery with no significant concerns for her long-term health.
Despite the setback, Boebert expressed her determination to recover fully and resume her duties as a Congresswoman, emphasizing her commitment to fighting for Colorado. The successful completion of the surgery and positive outlook for her recovery indicate that she will be able to continue her work in Congress without hindrance.
