After her
husband, NBC News correspondent
David Bloom, died from complications
of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) while
covering the war in Iraq, Melanie
Bloom felt the need to speak out.
Melanie sat down with

about some very important health

Gary Barg:
I was a big fan of your husband's
work on NBC and it was a shock to
hear how he died in Iraq. It
was actually the first time I heard

How much should I do for my
mother-in-law? She is 94 and very intelligent and
independent. However, she loves to be waited on and made of.
If I would do it, I believe she would allow me to treat her
like a princess. How far should I go? I have MS and I let

guilty all the time. I know she would like more than we can
