We both woke up early this morning, seems like it's getting harder to sleep all night.
After breakfast John wrapped some of the gifts we got yesterday. I put more ornaments on the tree, I still have a box of them, I'm running out of room on the tree!
We had a repeat of Thursday this morning, John had to make another trip to the ER. His nose was REALLY gushing this time. Different doc, it was Sandy's doctor Selski this time. He didn't do the cocaine treatment and said he didn't like to cauterize either because the scab could crack and come off and you'd just have a bigger hole to bleed from. Maybe that's what happened! John spit out a huge clot of blood while we were in the ER, maybe Not sure how much he lost, I'd bet at least 1/2 cup and maybe a cup. He took a cup with him to the ER and it had a lot of blood in it by the time we left! He put gauze in both nostrils with a chemical on them to constrict the blood vessels, then the packed the left one, it was bleeding the most and was also the one that got cauterized. He has to go back on Monday to get the packing taken out. Doc put him on antibiotics for 3 days he said with the packing it would be easy to get an infection going. Told him to put antibiotic ointment in his nose to help healing. He hasn't been doing so well this afternoon, he keeps sneezing and his nose is running. At least it's not pouring blood, it's pink tinged liquid, but he's been pretty uncomfortable and the packing in his nostril has fallen out a bit. Not sure it will stay in until Monday!
Stitch asked to borrow the big magnet to pick up nails in his yard. He told us that Sherry is going "walkabout" for a while. She's not happy and doesn't know what she wants. He says he doesn't want a divorce and has agreed for her to go away for a while to get her head together. Hope it works out for them.
