Dec 2012

A blood clot in the brain is very serious. It is what killed my grandmother. The clot burst and she had a massive stroke. However, she didn't get the blood thinners the way Secretary Clinton is. She should be absolutely fine since the doctors have found it and are treating it. Fortunately she had that follow up visit after her concussion. Here's wishing to her full recovery and ability to rest before 2016!!!!!
