Dustin May, the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher, faced a life-threatening emergency related to a freak accident after recovering from surgery. Just as he was set to return from recovery, a salad bite led to complications that required immediate medical attention. His wife recounted the harrowing experience that resulted in Dustin needing hospitalization for 11 days, losing significant weight and undergoing surgery. May now feels strong and is prepared to compete for a spot in the team's pitching rotation this upcoming season.
'We can laugh about it now. I don't think Dustin and I realized how serious it was. We were just so blind-sided and in shock.'
'This is life or death. You have to get in the ambulance or you could die if you're not hooked up to the antibiotics.'
'But mine fully ruptured in an 'L' shape, an inch by an inch. It was really bad.'
'I feel really strong. I’m ready to compete for a rotation spot this spring.'
