Former Utah Rep. Paul Ray underwent emergency surgery to fix a bleeding issue in his brain over the weekend, which saved his life.
“It started as a headache and got progressively worse. I thought, who goes to the ER for a headache? The doctors said I wouldn’t have made it through the weekend if I hadn’t come in,” Ray said.He explained he’s been on blood thinners for another condition, and bleeding in his brain has always been a possibility.
Ray’s former colleagues in the Utah House were made aware of his condition via an email from House Speaker Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville. “Our prayers are with former-Rep. Paul Ray and his family at this time. He is a good friend and honorably served our state for two decades. We wish him a full and speedy recovery,” Wilson said in a statement on Tuesday evening.“I just spoke to my doctor, who says the follow-up scans and tests look good,” Ray said.
Ray will remain in the hospital for another week and requires bed rest for several weeks after that. He adds his long-term prognosis is good.
