Rich has had one episode of profuse bleeding from his mouth, but that was a vein. The Doctor said it could break though the artery at any time. He said if it does it will not stop. He said it could be 2 hours or 2 weeks. Hospice gave me valium IM to give him if it happens and instructed me to have dark towels on hand.
Rich just says its not going to happen. I call his kids and let them know. I just need some support. Again the doctor and the hospice nurses are talking like I should be able to handle this because I'm a nurse, Why can't they understand how different it is when its someone you love. I'm not ready for him to bleed to death!
