I Have Something to Say

I have no updated photos yet of my rhinoplasty surgery..Still this most recent pic...Want to know how it went but?

1...8 days after surgery..it started bleeding and wouldn't stop..I held a towel to my face..and advised not to swallow any blood
2..Rushed in a car to the clinic to get immediate help from the surgeon..he couldnt stop it..said i was one in a million..and it was unusual..so held a bucket bellow to spit out any blood and pressure held to my nose..as I got took to the nearest hospital to the theatre to get looked at by multiple surgeons
3. Got given general anaesthetic..and when they had placed packing in..to stop it..they woke me up.
4. When they took me out on a hospital bed..they thought that was it..but my oxygen mask stated filling with blood..
5. So they had me sleeping in a ventilator for 24 hours with extra padding...
6. Worked on it again..eventually achieved it by padding my nose and throat..but when they woke me up..and I came out into the unknown..I couldn't breathe..so they immediately gave me the oxygen mask and I came round with a really sore throat after they removed the tube...and the padding from nose and throat connected and tied across my upper lip tightly swelling my lip..to hold the two pads together.
7. Because I was conscious with padding stopping it..and ambulance to the bigger hospital with more care wasn't urgent so we waited 5 hours for an ambulance to take me to my new ward.
8. I spent 6 nights there in pain..hard to swallow with pain..given painkillers regularly..blood samples attempted like 6 times every day..Because they couldn't find veins..I'm very soft and always checking blood pressure...the first three nights were sleepless
9.. Given an x-ray, with the possibility of a blood transfusion because of all the blood I lost
10. Prescribed iron tablets to reproduce blood, because my haemoglobin levels were low
11..packaging in throat and nose removed under supervision incase I started bleeding.
12.. kept in untill the evening of the 6th day..to make sure I definitely didn't start bleeding
13...eventually let home..with the iron medication and painkillers xx

14:..the positive from all this..there's nothing wrong with the position and outcome of my nose after it all..my nose is shaped nicely...just that bloody nightmare!!!
