Not a good day! by pamknowler

Not a good day!

No not the one in the photo which was taken a couple of weeks ago when the light was fabulous on our walk in the woods. Here the boys are chasing each other having fun!

This morning we got as far as Birmingham on the M6 when I had my second nose bleed of the day! This time while driving on the motorway in torrential rain with really bad visibility. My nosebleed was so heavy that it was choking me! Never had this before! After about 20 miles we were able to stop in the services and I had to sit for an hour before it stopped. We decided we were nearer home than the holiday house in Devon so decided to return home. What an awful drive with the surface water on the road creating a fog.
Now home again and I have had a long sleep and so far my nose seems to be ok. The car is still fully loaded and I will see how I am in the morning and hopefully start again! Not a good start to our holiday!
Oh Pam, that’s awful! Have you had these before? I remember getting them as a kid. So horrid. Hope that’s the last one you ever get!

Oh Pam. I was so sad reading this. What a frightening experience. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

@mzzhope I did have them quite often as a child and I did have a problem again about 6 months ago but on the other side of my nose. The doctors gave me some cream and said the skin up my nose was very fragile and if it continued to go back and get it cauterised. It was fine after that. Now it’s the other side. It started so suddenly I was covered with blood! Not nice! Too much information I expect! Lol!

@taffy thanks Taffy! I was quite frightened while driving as I couldn’t stop until I reached the services!

Oh Pam! That is horrid for you, I am so sorry. Good choice to go home and rest. I hope it all settles down now, so scary. Lots and lots of love and hope all is well for your journey tomorrow. xxxx

Sorry to hear of your problems, Pam, it must have been quite scary, especially driving on the motorway in these conditions. Hope you are able to travel tomorrow. Best Wishes for Christmas and New year 🎄

Oh goodness, that sounds scary! Do hope it's the same thing as the other side was and can be healed quickly. Merry Christmas to you all - and the boys!

What a horrible experience. I'm glad you made it home okay and I'll cross my fingers you will be off again perfectly okay in the morning. :)
December 20th, 2019  
That had to be a frightening experience. I do wish for things to get better so you can continue with your holiday.

Nice photo of the boys but what a rubbish start to your holiday! Hoping for a better trip tomorrow

Lovely light and capture. Hope you can go on your holidays tomorrow 🤞
December 20th, 2019  
Wonderful capture of light

Sorry you had to go through that, Pam. Have you had your blood pressure checked? That could be one cause of a severe nosebleed. Your pups look like they're really enjoying their stroll through nature here!
December 20th, 2019  
Oh dear Pam. I’m so sorry. I have to agree with @juliedduncan, this sounds like a high blood pressure event. I hope everything is calm now. But do think you should tell your doctor about this.

@juliedduncan @louannwarren thanks ladies. I am on BP tablets already and at my annual medication check last month my BP was fine. My cholesterol was slightly high and I am “trying” to follow a low fat diet to bring it down to avoid taking statins. Mind you with all the Christmas treats around I am struggling. My next fasting blood test is February. I will see how I go and if it happens again I will get my BP checked again.
December 20th, 2019  
Oh no what a disastrous start to your holiday. Hope you can set off again today.
December 20th, 2019  
Take care of yourself

Oh Pam...how awful! I am sorry you had to turn around and are having terrible travel weather. Hoping tomorrow is a success and that you are feeling better. What a scary ordeal for you...take good care!!! And maybe check in with a doctor, especially if it happens again...oh my!
PS...I do have something to mail you but I lost it somewhere in my house. Hoping to find it by our birthday! Haha! :)
December 21st, 2019  
Oh my, how scary. Hope your holiday improves soon! Take care.
December 21st, 2019  
So sorry re your exhausting and scary day
December 21st, 2019  
Well the boys are in beautiful light but your story sounds awful! Do you know what's causing the nosebleeds? I have had bouts of them throughout my life and sometimes I have to have my noise cauterized. Take care!
