I am with you totally on trying to avoid the ER whenever possible. Long hours of waiting and then, huh, whatever it was went away, stopped being a problem and then you have that huge, freaking co-pay to deal with.

Props to hubby for helping to clean up the disaster and taking care of you. Your hubby sounds like a keeper (like mine *kiss kiss*).
No co-pay here in Canada, I’m happy to say. But the rest of it, yup, exactly the same. And yes, I think I might keep the husband around a bit longer …

Bloody hell indeed. I’ve never had a single nose bleed but I’ve seen enough to know I sure don’t want one either. Take care of yourself and I hope it’s not an event that is repeated anytime soon.
Thanks, Janie. What your family is going through right now puts my little episode into perspective. Take care. xo

Daughter #2 suffers from nose bleeds too. D1, to my knowledge, has never been responsible but one never knows. D2 used to wake in the middle of the night covered in blood. Once I got her cleaned up and tended to, I would go to change her sheets. Egads, it looked like someone was murdered there.
Oh, I think you’d know, my dear! I had to empty the bin in the bathroom before the cleaning lady came, because it looked as though someone had cleaned up after a massacre in there.

You have my fullest sympathy as a fellow sufferer, though I do hope it was not the terror of meeting WWW that set you off!
Thanks, Laura. And I assure you I was not at all trepidatious about meeting WWW. Honest.

Oh bad luck and bloody hell!

I hope the nose bleeds stay away for another 20 years or so and you can see Wisewebwoman soon.
Twenty years should just about do it, Duch. And I’m hoping to meet up with Wisewebwoman in April. With my fingers crossed and a clove of garlic on my person, of course.

Oh, my – that would have scared me to death, but no – I wouldn’t have gone to the ER unless it didn’t stop in a reasonable amount of time (like, maybe, 2 days). Oh, I talk a good game, but I guess the best I can say is that I wouldn’t have gone to the ER willingly – Beloved may have very well dragged me there by the hair.

I hope you’re all right and that it was just one of those weird things. Do you have a humidifier in your house? Before we got ours, my nose would sometimes bleed a little just from blowing my nose because the air is just so dry in the winter.
The way the blood was flowing, Jan, I would have been empty in 2 days! But it was only a couple of hours, and then two more slightly shorter episodes over the next 24 hours, so I gave the ER a miss. I know it wasn’t lack of humidity, because we have a very efficient humidifier on the furnace and, if it goes off by the tiniest amount, my hair starts flying towards the ceiling. No hair flying, so didn’t even have to check the humidity level.

I’d been a bit cranky for a couple of days beforehand, so maybe I just needed to be bled a bit, to reduce my choleric humour!
