I'm not a religious guy, but I'm praying for Tedy. 31 is way too young for this sort of thing to happen......


Bruschi broke blood vessel in head
By Ron Borges, Globe Staff | February 17, 2005

Tedy Bruschi will remain in Massachusetts General Hospital while he undergoes more tests after suffering a broken blood vessel in his head, a Patriots team source told the Globe.

Bruschi is "sitting up in bed'' and talking, the source said.

The Patriots' Pro Bowl linebacker was admitted to the hospital Wednesday after suffering from persistent headaches and partial paralysis. The paralysis is now gone.

A Patriots spokesman said Wednesday night that Bruschi was in "good condition.''

He's fortunate...this is a warning and hopefully his doctors can find out if it's an isolated thing or if it's symptomatic of deeper trouble. This is not an uncommon occurrence in football players, and all of the flying around they do plays a role in it too. Air travel is a leading cause of deep vein thrombosis which is often fatal. Tedy's fortunate the vessel that ruptured was a small one.

These guys pay an awful price physically for their profession.
