I went in for my op 8 days ago and it went better than I expected, by the I mean the spinal soon cleared, i did not bleed and got home earlier than expected,
So far so good.
Three night later I had a nasty fall, I meen I moved in a bungalow because I have fallen down stairs twice.
So my nose seemed to bash into floor hard, It bled but not as much as I thought it should have done, had just gone back on blood thinners, I suppose I am lucky it was not two days later or I would have been took in hospital to have bleeding stopped.
What puzzle me was the lack of blood - it bled for a few hours then shopped. It was sore but not greatly, no bruising except under my nose and I resembled Hittler.
I was concerned , worried even - I am 77 and a fall like that, was scary.
When i was 70, I fell down stairs head first all way to bottom, banged my head but leg bruising was worse.
I did not worry at all - What a difference 7 years makes.
#I was at GP today for a 24 hour ECG result so I told GP about the fall, she checked me bestshe could and said "Symptoms would probably be more severe if bad damage had been done"
I must be going soft, I have had three previous falls, countless angina episodes, rushed in hospital but.....
Nothing even shook me up as much as this fall.
Apologies for long rambling post.
