Here we go again!

Hi Folks! I can tell you now that this won't be a humorous blog, just a boring, factual one! Late Saturday night I had a bleed. Nothing major, because the surgicel stopped it. Enough though to get blood on my neck and around the neckline of my night shirt! Had a long day @ work on Monday - came home, got comfortable and in bed to get some rest! As usual, if I sit still too long, I'll fall asleep (due to so many meds that make me drowsy), so I woke up @ 745pm to the phone ringing. It was Mark and he was @ the grocery store wanting to know if I needed anything. He got home and I ended up watching TV in the living room, trying to catch up w/some shows on the dvr, and fell asleep! By this time, Mark was in the bedroom, and I woke up and felt that my neck was damp. I could feel the back of my hair was a little sticky, so I knew what that meant! I went to look in the bathroom mirror and sure enough - I could see on my wound dressing that I was having a bleed! UGH! I went to get Mark, we got the wound care bag and got the dressing taken off. Yup - a stream of blood was coming out! I was trying to put pressure on the area, but not before I got blood all over the front of my nightgown! Mark put some surgicel on the area that was bleeding and got it stopped! Got myself cleaned up and my nightgown soaking and Mark redressed the wound. Each day the area below my left eye is getting puffier too. If I can just get through the week, it's almost time for another procedure next week! I'm really hoping I won't have a bleed @ work or on the plane en route to Denver, like what happened during our last trip! This trip I will be accompanied by Celia! As always, all your prayers and well wishes are appreciated!
