My grandma and her nosebleed.

Yesterday, my grandma had a severe nosebleed. She said she picked her nose and then blood started spewing out like a waterfall. It was scary!! Immediately I went online to search for ways to stop the bleeding and then found this site that suggested me to apply pressure by pinching the nose together. It also suggested me to have her lean forward so she wouldn't choke from the blood (but she didn't listen until the end). Thank god everything is alright as the blood clotted. I think she lost approximately 2 cups of blood. Even the mop became reddish/brown as we wiped the bloody floor from where she sat.

This morning, her nose bled again, but not as severe. I think the dry weather is the huge culprit here causing this huge mess. She went to the doctor today - I hope all is well.
