Report: S. Williams has pulmonary embolism
NEW YORK (AP) - March 2, 2011
Spokeswoman Nicole Chabot told the magazine that Williams
"underwent emergency treatment for a hematoma suffered as a result
of treatment for a more critical situation."
Williams suffered from a pulmonary embolism last week, Chabot
said. The 29-year-old Williams is being treated at a Los Angeles
hospital.
"Doctors are continuing to monitor her situation closely to
avoid additional complications," Chabot told the magazine.
The winner of 13 Grand Slam titles, Williams attended Sunday
night's Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.
On Tuesday night, Williams posted on her Twitter account "Tough
day." A few minutes later she retweeted Kim Kardashian.
Williams has been sidelined by two operations on her right foot
after getting cut by glass at a restaurant, and has not played a
competitive match since winning Wimbledon on July 3.
Chabot also told the magazine that the embolism was discovered
after she returned to Los Angeles from New York "for doctor
appointments for the ongoing issues with her foot."
