Anti-coagulant (Rivaroxaban)

[Danceawaytheblues]

I have always been OK with taking anti-coagulants, until Saturday that is. A few years ago I had what I thought was an ear infection. Turned out to be MRSA. Since then I have regular 3 monthly check up`s and ear suctioning as I have something called cholestoma. (Excuse spelling). Saturday I went to the hospital after a year, to have my ear cleaned. What should have been straight forward, turned into a mini nightmare for me. The doctor somehow managed to nick my ear drum, and the fun started. It took over 24 hours for the bleeding to finally stop. I have to go back to have it cleaned all again. To say that I am nervous is an understatement. lol. Thanks for `listening` to me rant. xxx

What a nightmare for you. Is your fear now that the bleed will start again? I wonder if you would be allowed to reduce your dose of anticoagulant beforehand?

Hope for a more dexterous doctor?

It is very upsetting when those things happen as you can lose confidence, let’s hope you do get a more dexterous doctor this time and no mishaps.
