Now I really know that I am getting OLD.

[crazyphil]

Almost the same thing happened to me. I was going out the door and
felt a sharp pain on the top of my right hand. When I got in the car, I
couldn't help but notice I was bleeding like a stuck hog. I'm also on a
blood thinner. When back inside and put a little anti-biotic ointment on
it and bound it up. It was right on top of one of those big veins in the
back of the hand. I change dressing every day, and now about a week
later, it looks like it's healed. BTW I know I'm old. 86

I'm 78 and still working around the house I'm not as flexible anymore and bump around, drop a hammer on myself, stab myself with a screwdriver. I don't notice the outcome of this until the end of the day when I see the red skin or blood or bumps. Fortunetly I have above average platelet count and don't bleed to much.

Why did this make me think of a marinade I want to try?

Disturbing...

I dunno, but having read that, if I were a neighbor I'd be a bit worried about being invited for dinner

You? I keep getting emails for a cremation service.

I don't mind getting old, I just thought it would have taken longer.

Couple the @#$%^ scrapes with the bruises from who-knows-where, along with the basal cell carcinoma extractions (gleefully removed by any number of dermatologists), and don't get me started about the friggin' fiber thing, and what do you have?

A geezer in training! Ain't quite there, but I'm workin' on it.......

In parts of the Pac. NW you could just e-mail them back and say, "We have raging wldfires. We get cremation for free."

My daughter got a new puppy, after my first visit, she now meets me at the door with some paper towels.

I take a daily blood pressure med., and eat aspirin like candy for lower back pain. So any little cut or bruise bleeds like crazy. My bald head usually wears a band-aide somewhere. In my garage/workshop, I'm constantly banging my head on something. So every corner, edge, shelf, or hanging tool has a name ( if ya know what I mean ).

I keep nicking my ear. I wish I could.

Whenever I walk through a door or out a door or down the hall I can't help but bang my elbows on something and wind up with bruises on them. My skin has gotten so thin and easy to tear I can just slightly scrape something and I'm bleeding. Beats anything I have ever seen. I take 2 blood thinners. I took Plavix and a baby aspirin once a day for the last 12 months and now my doctor has taken me off the Plavix just this last week but I will take the baby aspirin from now on. Maybe some of the bruising and bleeding will slow down a little. Growing old comes with lots of changes in our lives, don't it.

I don't take blood thinners or aspirin but everything I touch causes me too turn purple or bleed like a stuck hog. When I was young I could handle a steel winch line with bare hands but now I need gloves to handle cotton rope.
I can remember thinking that when the going gets tough the tough get going. Now I think when the going gets tough the intelligent quit. Larry

Getting old ain't for sissies.

Bette Davis had it right.

Eat more black pepper, the zinc in it helps make good scabs.

You have only your shelf to blame.
