Within hours of coming around after a general anaesthetic for an operation on my sinuses...I haemorrhaged.
Because of the yards of bandages jammed up my nose, the blood backed up and either flowed down my throat or came streaming out of my mouth.
The nurses had to replace the blood soaked bandages, which by now had dried solid up my nose. If I thought removing them was painful (which it was), worse was to come.
They then re-packed each nostril with the longest chrome spatula you could imagine.
All without painkillers cos of the general anaesthetic...would'nt wish it on my worst enemy.
