My Mom had a brief scare at the rehab center yesterday. She discovered that when one is early on in taking Coumadin, one shouldn't blow one's nose too hard. This resulted in a spectacular nosebleed which took a while to stop. It also resulted in me researching on the web last night, review methods on how to remove blood stains from one of her favorite blouses. Turns out that hydogen peroxide does the trick.

DR Dan (the Man), I'm sorry (but not surprised) to hear about your Mom's nosebleed. Not to alarm her, but another thing that can happen is a subconjunctival hemorrhage in which the white of the eye turns bright red. Coumadin is very tricky stuff.
