Hi - Its been kind of a rough few weeks and finally this week I was starting to feel a bit more comfortable and then last  night . . . when coming off after my treatment, I had got off the arterial and was starting to get off the venous when a site I had used last week for arterial, since I couldn't get my buttonhole to work, started sprouting  (maybe gushering) is the word.  Anyway, after a few minutes of panic I was able to settle down and get it to stop.   Otherwise, all is good.

We had one of those big bleeds last night, too, Dianne. Sometimes they just happen!  :thumbdown;

Must be something in the air..... today after treatment, Sharon was setting on the edge of the bed and getting ready for the BP tests and all of a sudden her Venous sight started gushing, we fixed it quick, then had to furiously strip the bedding that I had just changed a few hours earlier and get everything washed

Glad to know it's not just me.  I saw my neph today and he has lowered my heparin.
