Yes, the bottom line. It doesn't hurt, whether you're on a blood thinner or not. It bleeds ya dry. If the bleeding had not stopped bec/ the tourniquet had not worked, it is mandatory to go to the ER. Well, that's what I think/KNOW anyway!
I know what you're describing. We had friends that lived on the ocean in Maine. The husband had a pacemaker and was on a blood thinner.
MOSQUITOES - he was eaten alive by them. He had a lot of "under-the-skin" blotches all over him.
I smelled OFF for months. That is one carp smell.
I'll go to AMVETS and steal ya some sneakers.
Don't ya miss your work shoes? haha!
