Jose Guillen:
"I Almost Died Last Year From Blood Clots"
Jose Guillen Played 81 Games Last Year Due To Injuries. A Partial Tear In His Hip & A Sprained Knee, Also Off-Season Surgery On The Ankle & Lower Back.
After Those Operations Something Really Scared Him & Made Him Fear For His Life.
Royals' DH – A Title He Hate's, He Considers Himself A Outfielder –
"I almost died last year from blood clots in my legs. Both of my legs. I had to stay in St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City for 20 days just lying in bed. My legs were so big, so swollen up. They were purple. I couldn't even walk on them. I couldn't feel my legs.''
Guillen Says The Medication Doc's Gave Him For The Post-Operative Blood Clots Made Him Extremely Weak & Caused Him To Lose Weight & Muscle Mass, He Was Convinced He Wouldn't Play This Year.
BUT TODAY; Batting .361 & 5 HOMER'S, With The 200th Of His Career, & Is Going To Show "EVERYONE" He Has Plenty Left @ 33.
"That's what motivates me, That's what makes me work hard. I want to prove those people wrong.'' -Guillen
