I had a tonsillectomy 10 days ago and I’m currently on vacation in Colorado and on day 8 and 9 I started bleeding very badly. I was just curious to know when the bleeding would stop.

Bleeding week after tonsillectomy is known as secondary hemorrhage and it needs urgent medical attention. It won't stop on its own unless given intravenous antibiotics. You need to visit nearby ER immediately and get yourself treated immediately
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
