Mariska Hargitay Hospitalized Again
March 5th, 2009
Mariska Hargitay was admitted to hospital on Tuesday night (March 3), due to complications arising from her collapsed lung earlier this year.
The Law & Order: SVU star’s rep told PEOPLE in a statement:
“Mariska Hargitay went to the hospital this morning after experiencing some discomfort relating to her earlier lung condition. She is undergoing routine tests and expects to be feeling better soon. Production will not be affected.”
In January, the 45-year-old actress was hospitalized after suffering a partially collapsed lung and underwent surgery, before retuning to the set of the high-rating cop show.
“It’s no secret that I push myself, that I love my work and my life, and that I dive headfirst into everything,” Hargitay said on her official website at the time. “But, as I said, I’ve learned a few lessons. The first and most obvious one is that when we blind ourselves to what our hearts or our bodies are saying, when we push ourselves past our limits and ignore the red lights going off of the dashboard, we can end up in pretty rough shape.”
She added, “The other, equally important lesson is that healing and rest is as important a pursuit as anything else in life. I needed to learn to dive headfirst into healing, to get really good at resting—and that doing nothing can be a profound endeavor. I resolve, for this New Year, to be more mindful and aware—to listen more to the messages from my body and my heart. And to become a champion of rest.”
