Today we seem to have the nosebleed under control (knock on wood). Doctor removed the tampon this morning it started to bleeding again but was stopped by holding pressure on nose and using ice. So the problem was blood thinner. Today it was out of her system so her blood clotted. If by tomorrow the nosebleed does not return they will start her on blood thinners again.
The reason she needs thinners is she developed a few blood clots when she was bed ridden after the surgery. Those clots have all gone but protocol call is keep on blood thinners for at least three months after clots are first found. So she has a few more weeks. Unfortunately these are kind she has to get injected into her abdomen skin 2x a day...they are pretty painful.
We had a light day of physical therapy being it is a Sunday but that's fine be Jane was pretty tired.
Appetite still not back yet but believe it is because.of hospital food.
There is some oozing today form a point on her surgical scar...they are pretty sure it is just excess fluid and not an infection. Will keep an eye on it as it drains away on its own.
Hoping for another good night's rest so energy for tomorrow
