After getting a nickle-sized black #bruise that lasted 3 days from a recent 40-second blood draw, I wondered what causes them in the course of ' #SeniorLiving '
One result commonly seen on the back of elder hands is from "Peripheral Cannulation"
i.e., infusions of #medications, #chemo therapy, vital fluids (i.e., rehydration/nutrients/electrolytes), and even 'recreational drug use'.

It's just makeup to cover up bruising. He's on anticoagulants - probably has been for many years, like many men and women with risk factors for heart disease (weight, lifestyle, etc) and they've probably increased the strength of what he's on with his more recent diagnosis of venous insuffciency.
This level of anticoagulants makes you bruise *extremely* easily - just bump a doorknob or table surface with your hand / elbow / whatever, and you'll bruise - and it also makes the bruises look much more severe. I've a relative that has had bruises covering half their face with dark, almost-black patches multiple times from very minor incidents.
But he's vain (vein? 😉 ), so gotta cover it up with makeup.

Purple and Yellow and Gross
I mentioned a few times last week that I had a medical thing last Tuesday. It involved anesthesia through an IV. Today I noticed that the area around the IV point is now a giant yellow bruise. Like… how did I not see that yesterday or the day before or whenever? Did the bruise form four days after the fact? Not likely.
I mentioned in a post yesterday that I stubbed my toe on the end of the bed while I was getting ready for work. It hurt like a mutha. It continued to hurt a little for the entire rest of the day and my foot felt a little swollen. It wasn’t bad enough to have a negative effect on me or anything like that, it was just there. Last night when I went to bed I took off my shoes and socks and found that my forth toe on my left foot is a dark purple, almost black, bruise of epic awful ugliness. It is definitely not broken but it is swollen and ugly and gross.
So those are two things I have going for me on this gloomy Saturday morning.
The sun was out this morning for the first time on a Saturday in something like 35 years. Did my camera and I make it outside to take advantage? Nope. I way over slept. Is it too late? The thunderstorms are rolling in so yes, it is too late. I am enjoying a nice breeze as Miss Robin Sparkles the cat and I are sitting next to an open window in the bedroom. That’s something at least, right?

The severe bruising on my inner left arm is fading well
I won't say how I got it...but it was my own fault
