OMG remember when I heard my aunt and uncle over Thanksgiving?

I'm glad you and she have gotten to that point with it; I really admire the friendship the two of you have

I just read your post to her. She said "you've gotten to the point where you can joke about it, *I* still have nightmares.

OMG, from the other perspective, it was *awful*!!!!
I honestly thought she was asleep!! She just GLARED at us when we came downstairs.
VintagePunk said:Fly!!!! You poor thing!!!! How are you?? Have you taken te packing out yet?

Well at least they don't know that I heard them! If they did I wouldn't have been able to face them the next morning!

I'm a walking disaster. This virus has kicked my ass and then some!
I have to have the packing taken out on Saturday morning in the ER again. It's way too much pressure on my nose and sinuses than I can handle. All my snot doesn't know where to go.
VintagePunk said:
Awwww!!! Are nosebleeds normal for you? I've had them since I was a tiny kid. Used to get my nose "cauterized," a procedure I'm not even sure they do anymore. They stick this chemical up your nose, to prevent bleeding. I haven't had one in years, though. I keep it humidified during the winter, and sometimes put vaseline in my nose before bed, if its really dry.
FlyYourKite said:Thanks girls! I'm just so sick of being sick!
And just for the record, swallowing copious amounts of blood is not cool.
FlyYourKite said:
Actually they're not common for me at all! Tuesday was the first one I think I've ever had in my life and I had one yesterday too. But they both only bled for like 5 minutes. The one this morning went for 2 and a half hours. The doctor figures it was from blowing my nose too much/hard and from the dryness. Our humidifier broke so I hadn't been using anything at night except for some vaseline, but we bought a new humidifier today.
It's just scary when it doesn't stop!

I swallowed a ton of blood after they removed my tonsils and adenoids ... ended up in the hospital because I couldn't stop throwing it back up one of the absolute worst nights of my life
FlyYourKite said:
That sounds awful SG! I absolutely hate vomiting - have a severe fear of it and vomiting blood would just send me right over the top.
That's what I was so anxious about this morning too. I didn't throw up, thankfully, but there were many moments I felt close to it.
VintagePunk said:
I can't imagine it not being able to stop - must have been very scary. When I read what happened to you, I was nearly physically ill...
Is it wrong though, that when I was in grade school, I used to fake nosebleeds on occasion when we were doing our runs, in order to get out of it?
FlyYourKite said:Oh cauterizing! *lightbulb* The crazy doctor said we had two options: cauterizing or packing. He went with packing because he said cauterizing can cause scar tissue and lead to infection which isn't what I want or need. So I guess they still do use cauterizing sometimes VP! It did not sound fun though.
