Any ancillary evidence from your ears, mouth, eyes, nose?

No, that’s the weird thing. If it was nose it would show up in cpap nose pillows. I’m sure it’s not gums because I both floss and water floss every day - no bleeding and gums are all healthy pink and not sensitive. I’m thinking skin tags, but I’d think there would be some trace on the skin.

Bug bite maybe?

[Mik]

A bug bite would not produce this much blood.

Do the cats get on the bed?

[Mik]

Yeah, but not up here.

Is it possible that you had a spontaneous tympanic membrane (ear drum) rupture?

I believe that's a thing.

[Mik]

Speak up. I can’t hear you.

Possible, but it would seem it’s too low on the pillow stack. I use a wedge with two pillows up at the top. No blood on the upper pillows the blood is at the point where the wedge meets the sheet.

I’m scheduling a derma appointment tomorrow and ai need my annual wellness visit anyway so I’ll call my PCP.

What did s/he say?

[Catseye3]

Bump.

[89th]

Tag.

[Mik]

I figured it out myself. It was coming from another area of the body that had been rubbed raw. No repeat, no problemo.

I shoulda been a doctor, I tell ya. I'd give George a run for his money.

[Jolly]

At your age, why would you rub that raw?

[Mik]

You just mind yer own salami.

Nobody’s going to do it for him!
