| Description | Less than two months after suffering a life-threatening pulmonary embolism, Congressman Tom Reed of Corning says he's in good health once again. The health scare occurred less than two days before Reed was to be sworn into office after winning a special election to fill the then-vacant NY-29th District seat.
In an exclusive interview with 13WHAM’s Sean Carroll, Reed and his wife Jean sat down in their Corning home to speak about the blood clot that could’ve ended Reed’s life four days shy of his 39th birthday.
"I feel 100%" Reed said with a smile. That was a drastic improvement over how Reed felt on Sunday November 14 while attending a Congressional dinner in Washington D.C. On Tuesday Reed was scheduled to be sworn in as one of two Representatives aiming to fill a vacancy. While leaving that dinner, the warning signs Reed had been ignoring for weeks finally demanded his attention. |
