SAINT LOUIS, MO (KMOX) - In a Instagram post, Deidre Pujols announces she is undergoing brain surgery. Pujols says the tumor was discovered in October.
In the post, the wife of Cardinals player Albert Pujols says "I have delayed this procedure for as long as I could out of fear and inconvenience to my busy life." She goes on to say she can delay surgery no longer and wants to take care of it "before it takes my life".
She later posted a video from a hospital bed thanking supporters for sending their "love and energy" her way, and promising to update when she was able.
