Bleeding Disorder
On this day I went to the doctor and I was told that I have 2 types of bleeding disorders. That would be the cause of why I had to go into a second surgery for my tonsils. They didnt know back then, but once they found out I got my own Hematologist. A doctor to monitor my blood on a monthly basis.
