Things are going great with home hemo! AND-The Giants forced game 7 of the play-offs! Life doesn't get much better than this!
More fun. After I got home from dialysis I laid down for a nap. I awoke to a what I thought was a wicked runny nose. I ran to the bathroom to find that blood was pouring out of my nose and down my throat. It was nasty. After 20 minutes of bleeding even with pressure on it my son came home from class. I had called the advice nurse and she told me to go to the closest ER. They packed my nose and sent me on my way. I have to sleep sitting up tonight and call my PCP in the morning. They gave ma a referral to an ENT in case my PCP wants me to go straight to an ENT. Having my nose packed is so uncomfortable and it is giving me a bad headache. The funny thing is that I have broken my nose I think 9 times. I have had it fixed twice and I have never had a bloody nose. Go figure.
Last night was horrible. I was spitting hunks of blood out all night. I called my PCP as soon as the office opened. They said come in at 3. Then they said 1:45. I told them how awful I felt and asked if they had an opening if they could call me. She had me come right down. He took the packing out that I swear was touching grey matter and sent me to the lab to check how I was clotting. So far, so good.
