I was in the sitting room when DB yelled that he was bleeding......yes he was and had trailed blood from the bedroom into the hall and then the wet room. No idea where it was coming from till I saw his sock oozing.......he has a varicose vein on the inside of his right ankle, it had burst. It was playing like a fountain, shot up in the air and covered my top. Towel folded up leg over his left knee, I told him to keep pressure on it whilst I rang the surgery. Fortunately I managed to stop it, the Dr asked him to go down to the surgery to get it dressed to prevent it getting knocked and starting again.
The mess was horrendous, socks and tracksuit soaked, carpet in the bedroom and hall blood stained and the wet room looked like a slaughter house. I eventually got him onto the bed and kept his leg elevated whilst I got the blood out of the hall carpet and hosed down the wet room, The bedroom carpet and my top are beyond saving. It was even in my hair!!
His leg has 3 layers of bandage on from his foot to his knee , leg to be elevated at all times. He has to go back to the surgery on Thursday and then again on Monday. I am hoping that we are still going to be able to get away on 18th!!
I am shattered...........
