After the last year and a half of nose bleeds and being told she will grow out of them, we went to the ENT Dr a week ago. Leeza would not sit still for him to cauterize 3 vessels he found. So off we go to the hospital to get it taken care of for good. Leeza started crying the minute we got to the pre-op ward. Then she had a nose bleed. While I am trying to rinse out the bloody wash cloth, Leeza makes a break for freedom. Out the hall she goes, out the pre-op doors, down the hallway heading to registration. I got her back and finally got the nose bleed taken care of with almost no help from the nurse. She did get me a washcloth so she actually did do something. Then she came back to get me to sign paperwork, once I was distracted again, Leeza made break #2 for freedom. She made it almost down to the turn to registration before I caught her again. Then it was time to go off to surgery. She was in there only 30 minutes and the Dr said it went well. Then she was off to recovery. When they let me in, she still had her IV in. When the nurse came to take it out, she was so busy taking the tape off Leeza's hand that she kept jerking the needle around causing Leeza's hand to bleed. Since she hadn't bothered to put on any gloves, I ended up taking the gauze and stopping the bleeding. The nurse was suppose to bring some more gauze back, but she never did. I guess she wanted to get rid of us(maybe because I was rather mad at this point) and she said Leeza could go. Last time it took almost 2 hours in recovery since they wanted Leeza to eat Lorna Doone cookies which she doesn't like. This time she didn't even ask if she had eaten something.
Update: Leeza had her first nose bleed that night. Thursday she had a big one at McDonalds. Friday she had about 4 little ones while she was trying to sleep. Plus she now snores. She never did before Wednesday. I love Drs and hospitals.
