Don't panic--it's not the bad sort of bleeding

[kestrell]

That's basically what my surgeon had to say, and she would not have been there by the time I made the two-hour trip anyway, so I'm much calmer now. I still wish it hadn't taken me three calls to her service and an hour and a half to get that opinion, though.

Certain sick individuals who shall remain nameless feel I should have waited on the bleeding from the eyes thing until Halloween proper, but you know I get so impatient...
