Post-Op Day # 53 - Anti-Coagulant In Effect!

It was another very hot day, phew where's the AC when I need it?! haha!

I had a good sleep in MY OWN BED(YAY), thank goodness my body can't handle anymore of that other bed, its stiff as a board!

The other day I cut my leg on something but not sure what. It bled but I held my finger on it and it finally stopped so that was that.
This morning I guess I bumped the scab off and was sitting here checking my email when all of a sudden I thought I had a bug or something on my leg.
I reached down to rub it(not looking) and noticed blood on my hand when I brought it back up! YIKES! I looked down to find blood running down to the floor and a puddle about the size of 2 quarters! Holy crap!
I'm so lucky this chair has one of those plastic mats under it or that blood would have been all over the carpet(YIKES).

I quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped up the mess while placing a finger over the small cut and finally it stopped bleeding.

What a creepy thing to see --- haha, I laugh about it now but it was bizarre. I'm going to mention that to the lady at the ACC appointment tomorrow but I'm sure it's ok -- I mean it did stop as soon as I put some pressure on it for a minute. I'm going to have to watch that cut, make sure I don't bump the scab again.

I guess the Warfarin anti-coagulant is doing its job!

After that ordeal I had to go let the dogs out for my client so I did that and stayed there for an hour.
I needed to go to the bank in North Bend but decided to make a quick stop at the barn. The trainers were gone so I stayed long enough to visit Karma and Mercury then head to town to the bank.

Quick visit to the bank then head back home to retreat from the heat! YUK!

I didn't do much all afternoon, just not motivated to do anything. haha!

Time seemed to fly by today(it's fine by me!) and it was time to take my 7.5mg of warfarin @ 8pm.

We're heading out to the movie tonight so that will be fun and the theatre will be nice and COOL.

I thought my ACC appointment was first thing in the morning but its at 2:45pm, I don't mind that one bit.

I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow

Thanks for checking in
