My boyfriend had surgery yesterday to get a plate and 8 screws removed from his collar bone. When he woke up, we (mother, father, and me) were allowed to see him. He was deathly pale, and looked extremely blotchy. Like all the blood vessels in his face had popped into little dots.
We immediately asked the nurse about this and she said it was a little unusual for him to be doing that but that it could just be from having been put under so late in the day. She then assured us that he would be fine. (it was time for closing, she wanted us out of there).
The next morning (today), none of the blotchy-ness has gone away AND now there are popped blood vessels in both of his eyes. I gave him a benadryl and then we called the doctor. He said the benadryl should been fine and that he was probably allergic to some medicine he was given in the procedure. That we shouldn't worry.
I'm looking at him tonight, he looks not well, but feels fine. His eyes are very swollen and red. Go to ER?
