John Ritter was abdominal aorta rupture.
I lost a friend to that a very long time ago, back when I still went to the WTA tennis tournament at Manhattan Beach CA.
OK. Looks like it was 2001.
I had gone for years and met other women's tennis fans there over the years. One woman had been a long-time fan, especially of Martina Navratilova, and she attended Wimbledon every year too.
So we had decided we would go to another tournament in LA.. and she was buying the tickets and I would pay her at Manhattan Beach where we both had longtime season tickets.
I had left her a message and no response.. The first day, I didn't expect her for the daytime session, as the heat had gotten to her the previous year and she was older. I spoke to a woman in that seat during the day. She had bough that ticket from Jean but hadn't heard from her that week.
Then she didn't show at night.
I left another message and heard from her daughter and Jean had eaten some fast food and then suffered from indigestion, so bad that she called the restaurant to warn them. But she refused to go to the ER, though her daughter urged her.
And it turned out to be a rupture of the abdominal aorta.
My mom had put off going to the ER for what she thought were super bad gas pains.. She blamed having eaten popcorn.. My dad finally got her to go and her intestine or colon had ruptures. Diverticulosis. And she came close to dying. Had emergency surgery, had to wear a colostomy bag for 6 months, hated it. They were able to put her back together at 6 months.
Both of those events put me on alert..
John Ritter's sudden death certainly affected many people emotionally and I am sure the family being open about it saved some lives.
Whichever section of aorta was involved in Lindsay Graham's death, it should nudge some people.
