Bleeding To Deatrh

sorry, no video this morning!

I had just written Thursday's post and was thinking now on a video for today ... but ...

Now my leg had been swelling slowly since the surgery and Thursday was my appointment with the surgeon and i planned to ask hi8m about it ... but ...

Wednesday night i move3d slightly on my bed and the stitches all let go!

Like an exploding water-ballon, the leg deflated, blood was everywhere!

By the time my youngest daughter could reach me, I had already lost 5 pints!

And Kris just hates needles!  Five hours later , too many needles, and what is left of me is taken back home.

A huge set back in my healing plans, healing now pushed back by six weeks - so no shows for me it seems.  :(

Lessons learned:
blood can exit quite quickly
towels make bad tournequets
unbelievable exhaustion
unbearably cold
new bed now needed

sigh
