    Surgery complications. I had just had an eye socket taken apart and put back together, with plastic clips and metal to hold it together so it could heal properly. I was in the recovery room waking up from the anesthesia when my new internal stitches started to hemorrhage. I had blood pouring down my face, but it was under a heavy layer of surgical dressings. I could feel it, though, so I said that my face hurt. My mom believed me and so did one of the recovery nurses, who had the guts to ignore another nurse, who was wrong, then go straight to the surgeon and say something’s not right. Do you know how you get a surgeon to clean a surgery suite that he just rolled out of successfully? He will even pick up a mop and re sanitize it! Thanks, Tina!
