Stories like yours scared me to death before going into surgery! I pray you are doing well and if my math is right you should be about day 8 now right? I imagine the bleeding will push back the time frame that the scabs come off but it was right around now that were the worst days for my experience. Hang in there, try to stay hydrated, and we'll keep you in prayer. Wow! Stories like yours scared me to death before going into surgery!

I am day 5 original post op and day 3 emergency post op on one side. i had my op tuesday before lunch and went home the next day. early friday morning I had a bleed and eventually went to emergency. after stopping it by drinking cold water. sat around in emergency all day waiting for a bed as ENT wanted me under obs. about 6pm had a major bleed...when I say major I mean the surgeon was panicking and statred pushing the bed towards theatre himself and told the nurses we would meet the guys that push the beds half way that he didnt have time to waste. the whole time blood was just pouring. it definately scared me. when i woke up I was scared and decided to see if there might be any way to prevent another bleed and came upon your blog and the great tips you have. got my fiance to buy a humidifier on the way home. and some chewys and will use your other tips and hopefully not bleed again. thanks for your blog :) by the way I was the rare one with a cyst on the tonsil and then the 1 in 100 person that has a bleed... lol thanks for the information.
