Bloody Mess

According to this article on ESPN.com, Brendan Donnelly is in the hospital because of nosebleeds:


Donnelly returned to a Scottsdale hospital late Saturday and underwent a third surgery on his fractured nose, which was broken in 20 places on March 9 while he shagged flies during batting practice.

"They told me I lost half the blood in my body," Donnelly said Saturday, adding that he'd lost seven pints of blood. "I didn't realize how serious it was."


I used to get nosebleeds quite often when I was growing up. Never this bad, but I would wake up with blood all over my pillow. The usually happen during the change of seasons with me. They are a bother, but I never realized they could be this bad. Let's all keep Brendan in our thoughts today.

How do you break your nose in 20 places?

Isn't nosebleeding in children classic vitamin K deficiency? When when my grandpop took us to HoJo's for a hot dog, I ate the parsley garnish too. My brother didn't. He bled all over the place in his sleep until they starting serving us green leafy vegetables with our hot dogs.
