Bloomington Hospital

"The staff treated me very good, they had difficulty sticking and was so apologetic and I told them hey not your fault and they really did a good job and really did not hurt me. Was very much on top of giving my pain medicine and told me never hesitate to ask."

James Bradley Ray

"I had my surgery on 9/12/06 and when I came out of recovery I only had pain in my left shoulder. I was told it should go away in about 48hrs that it was probably the air they pumped in. 4hrs after surgery I was up walking and having my clear liquid diet and went home the next day.rnrnUnfortunately on 9/14/06 I developed severe pain in my left shoulder and shortness breath, I called Dr. Ray and he informed me to go to the Emergency Dept and have a scan to make sure I did not develop a blood clot. I did have a blood clot in 2002 so I knew I was at risk and to be honest that was what I feared the most and not the surgery itself.rnrnI was found to have a small clot in my right lung. I am still in the hospital this is Monday 9/18/06 and today I feel about 95% better. The pain in my shoulder is much better and I do now believe it was the air and it finally passed today. Dr. Ray has been very informative and said I am doing great and he always takes time to make my questions are answered to my satisfaction.rnTHANK YOU DR. RAY FOR A CHANCE TO LIVE A FULL LONG HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIFErnGOD BLESSrnDonna"
