B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Woke up about 1.30am this morning feeling funny and thought I was sweating. Then I felt rain coming down all over me ???? in bed ? Woke up the missus and said it's raining inside, turned on the light..... f**k me, panic mode set in and I nearly passed out Scroll down... scary sh*t BLOOD Had a facial surgical operation on Monday morning. All good till 1.30 this morning when two nasal arteries burst. I had trouble stopping the flow and went into shock. Called the ambulance. At least I know I've got good blood pressure....130/60 .... 20 yrold pressure. What a day....Middlemore (4 hrs &useless) Ambulance guys were great. Home..(MESS EVERYWARE) back to the Specialist (all sorted.. I hope)....Home... Get hold of Insurance Company....Call in the cleaners. I couldn't believe that blood could squirt out of your head lying down and hit the ceiling without an inpact..... Any way...

andrewm 236 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Thats impressive, although im 80% convinced you bleed ATF. That looks DEXRON V compatible. Also your nose has better atomisation than the spraygun i bought from supercheap. Edited November 14, 2018 by andrewm 4 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 I'm all good thanks guys. It was the scariest thing I have ever encountered in my life because I couldn't see where the blood was coming from. Both of us panicked a bit and I couldn't use my glasses to see. I'm all taped up for the next couple of days so this won't happen again. I put this opp off for years because of work. A bit of a long road to get down at the moment but all should be all good in 6-8 weeks. Rhinophyma cannot be dealt with by medication alone(which I've tried) and effects people in many ways, both physically and mentally just have to deal with it now I have time. Maybe I should take up spray painting now ? I have an air brush gun and compressor to practice with at home. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 Holy Cow! Glad you're OK now Glenn! It's a very scary thing, seeing your vital fluids leaking out at such a rate that you don't know what's going to happen. I know a bit how it feels after a massive post-tonsillectomy bleed a couple of years back. Take it easy!!!! Don't go watching thriller movies, or driving in Auckland traffic - they both might might you pop again Look after your wife - I bet shes STILL stressed/concerned 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 All good thanks. Glenda's been brilliant. Actually everyone has been a great help. Even the poor intern at MM who openly said he didn't know how to deal with it. We got the bleeding under control and I had to wait and go to my surgeon to get it sorted. We now have our own cauterizing kit at home now thanks to my surgeon. The commercial cleaner guy got the shock of his life seeing the result. The blood on the floor was still wet when he got here at 2.00pm. He might have got it all out. If not....new carpet. He and my wife did a marvelous job. Think I might still have an issue with getting a good night sleep after last night though. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
