Re: Nose Bleeds - 3 weeks post op

[Guest guest]

Hey , it's Alix. I wanted to reply to this and tell you that

the same thing happened to me yesterday!! Thought it was funny since

we had surgery the same day. Anyhow, bug your surgeon, because it

could be simple or it could not be. I emailed mine, and he

thoroughly chewed me out for doing too much. However, he says he

thinks a clot broke loose somewhere from the type of bleeding I

described to him. I really would call and let your os know, even

though I'm sure you'll be fine. And knock it off with the trash

bags!!! (I was doing reverse pushups...sigh.) Alix

I don't think so - I stopped having nose bleeds after I think it was

like a week and a half.

Reverse push-ups, huh? No wonder your surgeon gave you a hard time-

ha ha. I guess I'll have to go easy on the trash bags.
