from Dana Wakiji of the Wings' website,

Dominic Turgeon considers himself very lucky.

When the Grand Rapids Griffins were in Texas on April 11 to play the Stars, Turgeon mentioned to athletic trainer John Bernal that his right arm had been swollen for a couple of days, something Turgeon initially thought was a bruise.

Bernal took Turgeon to the hospital to see what was going on and they discovered something much more serious than a bruise - thoracic outlet syndrome.

"I actually went to the hospital and I figured I was going back for my pre-game nap and they say you need surgery right away," Turgeon told reporters in Grand Rapids Tuesday while his team practiced. "So I'm getting hooked up to machines and then I had surgery probably an hour after that and was there."

Below, watch Turgeon discuss the injury.
