Jerome Kersey
Who Played Pro Basketball from
1984-2001. Mainly with the Portland
Trail Blazers from 1984-1995. He passed
away February 18, 2015 from a blood clot after having surgery. Surgery was out patient days before. The clot they say went from his calf and
moved up to his lungs. I mention this
because I have had two knee surgeries and on my second one my calf was starting
to itch and looked like a bug bite. I
went into my family doctor who immediately said it looks like a blood clot is
forming and had blood work done right away.
I forgot the name of the test but my
numbers were high and I was put on blood thinners right away. Here was an athlete that this happened to and
just a surgery that is done hundreds of times a day just in the U.S.
alone. So, if you think there is a
problem go in I am glad I did.
the sad part of the story is that he was only 52. i was that age when i had my second knee operation.
ReplyDeletenow we move om to Derrick Rose who is having is second knee operation and i do not envy him. a meniscus tear is nothing to laugh about. for my second surgery i did not know i had torn mine until the MRI but by then i had caused a lot of damaged. he diffidently will feel it more when he gets older as well. i have a lot more understanding now after having mine.
ReplyDeleteKentucky just keeps on winning 28 straight games they are really something to watch. they also play very good defense and actually get better in the second half, that is scary.
ReplyDeletethe Kings in hockey are on a winning streak of eight straight which is putting them right their back in the playoffs. no team has won more than eight straight games in the NHL this year.
ReplyDeleteCleveland beat Golden State tonight 110-99 and now have won 18 of their last 20. they are starting to look like a championship team. with all of the talk about Love not working or fitting in their he is averaging 16.9 points 10.4 rebounds and 2.3 asst a game after 55 games those are good numbers in my book.
ReplyDeletethe other night James passed Scottie Pippen with 6,142 assists more than any other forward now in 27th place all time Jerry West is next all but five of the names ahead of him have played more games he will have the overall record when he is finished. he is also 22nd on the all time scoring list.
ReplyDeletewell spring training camps opened up and in a couple of weeks games will start. it will be nice, now if only some of those guys would just be quiet it would be better.
ReplyDeletetalk to you next week, maybe there will be some signings in football by the teams before March 10, when free agency starts. have a good week.
