At the gym on Tuesday morning, I reached into my shaving kit and caught the business end of a new razor blade. No stitches, but it took some considerable work to stop the bleeding.

What disturbed me most was that the gym didn’t have a better first aid response.

I shuddered when I read your description of what happened! I've been on blood thinners for the last couple of months, since my ablation, and I've been very careful around sharp objects! It would be hard to stop the bleeding!

Thankfully, I got a good report from my Cardio guy on Tuesday, and he took me off both the blood thinner, and the anti-arrhythmia meds! I'm only doing a blood pressure med now, and a full aspirin each day. Feels great to be off those meds, I can tell you! The blood thinner would just make me tired!

Hope your hand heals soon!
