I went through something last week that I think was akin to spending 5 days in a prisoner of war camp.
Never in my 73 years have I ever felt such intense pain and awfulness.
It started with a nose bleed...the first in my life .
It didn’t just drip out...it poured out, like you turned on the water faucet full blast. It poured out my nose, mouth, down my throat...twas icky
And resulted in 7 trips to the ER in a 24 hour period, before they admitted me to the hospital.
I had my nose packed 4 times before an ENT finally found the site of the bleed and cauterized it.
That was this past Wednesday. Today, 4 days later, I almost feel back to normal. I’m still weak and have a lot of sinus pressure, but think I might see the end of the tunnel.
