Heat forward Chris Bosh on blood clots: ‘I’m lucky to be alive’ : Fantasy News

Heat forward Chris Bosh opened up on when he first started experiencing issues related to the blood clots he suffered and he said he feels fortunate to be alive, reports 790 The Ticket.”In Boston, we actually won that game, but I couldn’t breathe,” he said, referring to a Feb. 1 game. “I was like, ‘Man, I can’t breathe. Something’s wrong with me. I can’t breathe.’ You try to take a deep breath and I couldn’t do that.”Despite not feeling well, Bosh attempted to play through the issue, which he said he now regrets.”I know, I’ll never do it again,” Bosh said. “It sounds crazy, doesn’t it? I wish I could go back and tell myself not to do those things, but I’m lucky to be alive. I am. I took that as a lesson to stop trying to be a tough guy all the time. That’s kinda how we’re trained, to just suck it up and throw some dirt on it and get back out there.”The last four years, the way we had been competing, there were multiple times I had to do that. We all had to do that. It gets ingrained in you, and we don’t want to admit that we’re fragile. We come with that cape and everything that comes with it. We get in that mind frame. I should have said something. But I’m here and I’m chilling.”
