Celebrity Big Brother’s Perez Hilton needs ’emergency surgery’
Perez, who starred in CBB in 2015, took to X while lying in bed at Southern Hills Hospital in Las Vegas.
Wearing his hospital gown, he explained his plight: “I’m back in the hospital and I was admitted. I’ve already seen some of the nurses who treated me when I was here for 21 days, fighting and beating sepsis,” he said.
“And now I’m back and I have to have emergency surgery.”
Perez continued: “I’m so happy and I’m so grateful because this is a blessing from God, as we caught this early.
“I went to see my surgeon today. Really good timing. Last night, I started having real soreness and pain in one of my legs.
“This morning, it got way worse. I couldn’t even walk.”
Perez says he was sent for an ultrasound, before receiving his diagnosis.
“I have a deep vein thrombosis,” he said. “I’m so thankful to God that we caught this early because if that blood clot had gone to my lungs or my heart, it could have been real bad.”
