Rosie O’Donnell is recovering at home after suffering a heart attack last week.

The 50-year-old says if it weren’t for a quick Internet research and an aspirin commercial, she might not be with us anymore. She writes on her blog that after falling ill, “I Googled women’s heart attack symptoms. I had many of them, but really? I thought — naaaa.” Then she took an aspirin, which is recommended for people who think they’re suffering a heart attack. “Thank God,” she writes. “Saved by a TV commercial, literally.”

Doctors later inserted a stent after finding that Rosie’s coronary artery was 99 percent blocked.
