Im on a blood thinner Eliquis for Atrial Fib which was stopped before surgery and then i was giving myself Lovenox injections until night before surgery as prescribed. Day of diacharge i was instructed to resume my Eliquis starting with PM dose that day by the diacharging surgical resident. Before leavimg hospital nurses were changimg my dressings every shift along with drain dressimgs. I had heavy clot like dainage on all of them. Same continued at home. Next evening i stood up and the left drain bled large clots around drain. I think the bleed was happening in the hospital. I thought all was normal. So l dont know if letting the hemotomas be absorbed by my body is a normal thing, its going to take month, year. Is it too late, maybe ahould have been done within 48 hrs. 2 surgeons here say let body absorb. They also work together in same office. The one referred me to the other?? IDK
