At least Mom didn't need the Rocket. Though it WAS mentioned. My sister brought over her humidifier for the night, then bought Mom one the next day. <br /><br />Mom has spouted again twice, once after a laughing fit on a phone call with an old cronie (STAY OFF THE PHONE, MOM) and another after coughing while washing out her bloody wardrobe (NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR LAUNDRY). She stopped the first one with a spritz of forbidden Afrin, and the second with a pinch of the nose. The cascade down the back of her throat stopped soon after the nose. We think she's on the mend, but needs to discuss that blood-thinner with her doc.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-86372607207456775592012-02-03T09:21:26.987-06:002012-02-03T09:21:26.987-06:00Reminds me of the last time dad had a nosebleed. ...Reminds me of the last time dad had a nosebleed. The EMT's and Paramedics gave us the choice of him going in an ambulance or we could drive him. Okay, I'll drive said I.<br /><br />They gave dad ice packs for the back of his neck and 4x4's in abundance and a towel and little basin to catch as he pinched his nose.<br /><br />When we arrived at the hospital, I went in to request assistance and they meandered out, took one look and hustled! They actually thought he had been shot in the chest there was so much blood! LOL<br /><br />Right after that, one of the other bloggers told how she had used a Shamwow to stop the blood on her hubby's leg. I sure could have used that little gem BEFORE the nosebleed but it is there in my pea brain for next time!<br /><br />The hospital we were in had a sign on the wall stating that if we didn't see the person wash and sanitize we should ask them why they didn't. So, I did as I pointed to the signage. And they did--wash and sanitize that is!<br /><br />Dad seems to get one of those massive bleeds each year and we get to spend several hours in the ER getting it under control. The last time was the worst and he had to actually have a Rhino Rocket inserted for a weekend and then to to and ENT. Very uncomfortable for him I fear!<br /><br />I bought him another small humidifier for the bedroom (they have a large one in a central area of the house) so that his nose doesn't dry out so much at night with his oxygen and cpap and thus helps to curb the Sahara like conditions inside of his rhino regions!<br /><br />I feel for you...labbie1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03300554678932160244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-43826037650768224732012-02-02T18:14:14.224-06:002012-02-02T18:14:14.224-06:00I was a nurse back in the day, an ER nurse.

Soap and water, a good dose of common sense to go with it will change your life! We had one particular doc who disdained gloves and I can honestly say I never saw him wash his hands. I followed him for an entire 8 hour shift, going so far as to stand outside the restroom door and listen for the water to come on. I cannot swear that he did not wash his hands after he used the bathroom, but I am fairly certain that he didn't. I requested that he never treat me if was brought in and not able to speak for myself ......Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-31078976898516931372012-02-02T15:34:34.408-06:002012-02-02T15:34:34.408-06:00Stephen,

I'm sure she would consider that after reading your comment, which some people only check around 8:00 p.m., just before they hit "publish".<br /><br />You and your philanthropic ways! Handing out free postcards, educating the masses. I'm surprised you'd have time away from your busy schedule of giving them cars for their garages, and chickens for their pots.<br /><br />****************<br />Linda,<br />So when you lick YOUR finger and count change, you are licking the finger of every other finger-licker that THAT finger-licker ever licked. Take my word for it.<br /><br />***************<br />Sioux, <br />How about that finger-licker phrase for your postcards, only change it to hand-sneezer.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-60193225577327363262012-02-02T07:19:29.228-06:002012-02-02T07:19:29.228-06:00Oh I so agree with you.

She too went to the ER, and I suggested she reflect on the waiting room antics, to give her material for her post. Silly me....<br /><br />I hate it these days when people still cover their coughs and sneezes with their hands. I need a catchy phrase to print up on a postcard, so I can hand it to them (using a ten-foot pole) to "educate" them.Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44153327583799894.post-65468718780789414702012-02-01T21:56:27.072-06:002012-02-01T21:56:27.072-06:00It sounds like you're describing a scene from ...It sounds like you're describing a scene from the movie Contagion.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.com
