If it doesn't stop soon I'll have to go to the ER and have my blood checked to see if I need to be coagulated. (i.v.)
too much Vit K? we used to give Vit K to help slow the bleeding down, especially if the person was on coumadin.... a call to your DR is definately in order!.... now MAKE that call !
I'm headed to the phoen too. got a knot on my finger not healing... Dr. last gaveme med for it... unchanged.. on tot he surg thur for consult...(SEE I follow my own orders)
*hmmmm geee we wound like a bunch of mother hens... but I guess that basically what most of us are.*
