This happened at 6:30pm tonight.No,he's not on coumadin.And they took him off baby asprins 3 yrs ago.So,no blood thinners at all.It quit bleeding after I put the pad on it.And I checked it and couldn't even see the hole.He's got up 2 times already.I did check a couple of times earlier to make sure he was ok and still breathing.He was.In fact he was ok after it happened.I think it just scared us both.And of course I would of took him to the er or called our local fire dept,they would of been here from Winterhaven.With the paramedics.But unless it's really necessary,I don't like that.They keep him 7 hrs and charge $14,000. at the hospital.And everybody we know that's 'old' like that gets the same $14,000 package.No wonder medicare is screwed up.They have to 'rule out' this,and rule out that,when it don't even pertain to what's going on.So,I'd rather put my finger on it and hold it.That stopped it.I was just trying to figure out how he blew an artery out.Cause the blood was shooting out a foot and had a teeny pin sz hole.I thought a little while ago,I should of took his blood pressure pill out of the pm's pills.Well,I'm still checking on him.And I looked just now at the pad and lifted it,and don't see a thing.Not even the hole.But did wrap it up and also put ace bandage on it as it will hold it tight better than tape.Just a fluke I guess.
