23579What an awful shock that must have been, please take care, you are not lazy, just being careful!
12421That is quite frightening. Please listen to the advice you have been given and take it easy and do call the doctor. Jim and your kitties need you. We need you.
11468I will be looking for an update in a few hours. I wold say if it happens tonight call the doc, even if it is before morning. Big hugs!
173580Vicky, I would definitely go see my doctor or the surgeon. Maybe it is a side effect of your surgery. Don't mess around with bleeding. Hugs, dear friend.
59611Dear Vicki, I agree with all the others, TAKE IT EASY! I'm glad Jim is there to help you so quickly.
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

Yes, am going to call doctor office tomorrow....everything in my instructions talks about bleeding the first several days not 10....also even with brushing I can't get that copper taste gone, am wondering if I may still have a bit of seepage...

Maybe you are just so special you waited for 10 whole days. :-) I'm glad you are going to the doctor!
234253Oh, Vicki, what a terribly scary night you had! I think I would have headed to the ER the minute it started bleeding the second time! I'm sure you paid the doc plenty so get him up in the middle night! Take care of yourself which means letting the cat fluff its own food! LOL Until you are 100% , you should be waited on hand and foot! Hugs and prayers*, Deb

I made Jim eggs and bacon this morning and thought....mmmm, something is wrong with this picture..lol
He would make me breakfast but still have appetite issues....
70753Vicki, my DH slept in a recliner for quite a while after his surgery. He did very little for two weeks. When are you due to go back to the doctors? Don't hesitate to give him a call - you are paying him!! Please continue to let us know how you are doing!! Hugs, Laura

You know how us women are.....I feel lazy instead of resting, know what I mean? I learned a big lesson....
95245Vicki, please, p,ease give yourself time to heal. I know some of us think we can go right on regardless but I have learned from experience. It can be disastrous. I would sleep in recliner till you see Dr again. RN Lillian's advice. You are needed , take care of yourself . Hugs and more hugs.

Hi nurse Lillian....I go back to doctor in 2 weeks...I will call tomorrow and let them know what is going on...
145789I am so sorry Vicky. This has to be scary and uncomfortable. I had a situation of unstoppable nosebleed in my family once. Jim is right, try to sleep in a recliner for a few days and NO bending over if you can help it. Why are you doing a lot of work? Please try to relax, watch some movies, read a book TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. Hugs for you.

Just frustrated to have this set back....I am a much better caregiver than caretaker....

313715I hope so too Vicki, hope the bleeding keeps stopping when you do what the doc said to do. Maybe you do need to rest from your work for a little while. Hugs from Maureen
