Heart Trauma Recovery

They said that I had A-Fib, after I had the covid, back in 2020. Every time I visited the cardiologist though the EKG didn't pick up any A-Fib abnormalities. Still prescribed that Eliquis, twice a day, also.
This past spring I got tangled up in some briars while cutting them out. The Boss Lady thought I had cut an artery or something.
Heck, I even bled when I got the flu shot a couple weeks ago.
 
While on Plavix, my bed sheets looked like a scene from The Godfather. I kept a pump bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide topical solution handy to help clean up the messes I made daily. Not only unhealthy as far as I'm concerned, it was embarrassing on many occasions. I would bleed badly and not know it until someone that was freaked out would try to help me. sheesh! It's a high price to pay to be healthy.
 
Yup I got all of them things.

My groin is a lot more sore this morning, but I can tell the bleeding is slowing down. Usually just rolling over in bed make a couple of the usual suspects start and it did not do that this morning.

Kinda reminds me of the stories I have read about when doctors thought bleeding one was a cure for alot of things ...

I am giving it until Monday to settle down, I just do not feel right. If Monday comes and I do not feel like I have improved i may need a ER visit. Yesterday, I scratched a sore that was the size of a black eyed pea, and it bled for almost an hour. I was close to going then !

They took me off of Eliquis and started Plavix. Eliquis prevents the blood from clotting, (Coagulant), Plavix prevents the platelets (blood cells involved in clotting) from sticking together and forming harmful clots in the arteries.


Supposed to rain today, gonna be a good day to sit at the keyboard or on the couch watching tv ....
