Blood and other liquids...

So this week is all about wet things. Sunday it was a burst pipe between the living room and kitchen. As odd as it sounds we were lucky it leaked around the ceiling speaker or we could've had a much bigger problem on our hands. We have an awesome plumber that quickly fixed the problem and didn't charge an arm & leg for a Sunday afternoon. We are fortunate enough to have good friends to help us with our toddler during the chaos. The week continues with a bloody nose that just wouldn't quit. So bad that it required a trip to the ER. After 4 hours of bleeding off and on and several attempts to stop it for more than 15 minutes at a time, they decided not to pack the nose (nasal tampon) and instead they cauterized 4 different spots in my nose with silver nitrate. Basically 4 chemical burns in a very sensitive spot without any anesthesia. I could feel & smell the burn! At least it was stopped until the next day when it started again. I went to ENT where they cauterized more but with anesthesia and some amazing Drs. The rest of the week was better but rainy and blah. Hopefully things will start looking up and our house & health will be back to normal.
