My father just died in his sleep. He had passed by the time the paramedics arrived.

They still did their best, which I am very grateful for, but they even an entire trash bag full of used instruments that were stuffed under the bed for some reason

I’m glad that I found it sooner over later but it’s mildly infuriating that they just discarded their medical waste under his bed.

(NSFW some blood)

I’ve been taking care of him for over 5 years and it’s made things a lot harder for me, seeing all of that all over.

    That’s excellent to know. I was about to ask about the best way to dispose of it. I can handle it now that the shock of it all has gotten milder

    So long as I don’t need to call a biohazard team, and I can just clean the blood up, then I’ll be able to do it.

    Do you have a good way to get a blood stain out of a rug

    Oxyclean or peroxide like they say in the documentaries?

      Dab and press, don’t rub. Dawn in cold water first dabbed on and soaked up with a towel, then hydrogen peroxide the same way for what’s left had always worked for me.
