Hello all, I have a situation that I would like some advise on. I can drink and eat soft foods like cream of wheat and eggs. Ensure is the easiest as I can get a can down in no time flat. My concern is that I bleed very easy. And had my tonsil taken out. And I have bleed profusely once already. and am petrefied of it happening again. Because every time they have to operate to stop the bleeding I am effectively at the beginning of healing. I think that I sometimes aspirate some of the water that I am drinking. And know that keeping my mouth clean is very important. but what if while brushing I start to bleed again. I have been afraid of even moving thinking that my elevated blood pressure will start a bleed. I think I may be aspirating due to watering eyes and nose when I eat or drink. and I don't cough per say but do have to clear my throat a lot during meals. Is it safe to just use magic mouthwash until I feel that I am out of the woods on the bleeding thing. I have seen a swallow expert and she thinks that I need practice swallowing. and will have a swallow study done here in the next week. I know that I need more calories now more than ever. but this fear of bleeding is stopping me. in this area as well. My platelets are so very low. any advise please? shawn U
