UPDATE: Just talked to doc's office, nurse will call me....I was watching TV last night and all of a sudden the profuse bleeding started.......we shoved cotton balls soaked in Afrin and finally got it stopped.....will let you know what nurse says.....Hello dear friends....been up since 2AM...I have started having nosebleeds tonight....first one was about 6 PM.... was so scary as am 10 days post surgery and these normally occur in the first few days....I did alot of work today and Jim blames that....I bent over to fluff up Sammi's food and it just started pouring out....we did what we were told to do and got it stopped within 30 minutes, I felt something horrible at the back of my tongue and got ahold of it...was a huge clot. Went to bed about 11 PM and woke up at 2 AM choking, I pushed Jiffy off me, sat up and blood poured again....Jim woke up and we started the same routine as before....he thinks I need to sleep in the recliner propped up for a couple nights. I am so tired and the taste in my mouth is disgusting... hopefully all this will pass soon....ugh!
He would make me breakfast but still have appetite issues....
The taste of blood in the mouth is terrible. We always had our patients at the dentist complain about it after extraction, it's that iron, metallic taste. I'd ring the doctor to check up on the nose bleeds 10 days after the surgery seems a long time, but you know your own body, so don't overdo things. Love Chris
