I'd think the body would normally resorb the thing unless it is very big and if it is, your surgeon would likely have you doing more to help it dissolve. Sure sounds like you lost a lot of blood having to have 2 transfusions! I'll bet that was very scary. Did the surgeon say why he thinks you bled like that? |
Jeanie, I don't know if they know what caused the bleed. I had been giving myself injections of a generic for Lovenox for 5 days. Maybe that coupled with a minor bleed?? I so appreciate all the help you and everyone have given me.
