Great news Peter.
Great news Peter, be on the lookout for easily bruising especially about the arms, and be careful around sharp or edgy corners and such
because the blood thinners will make your skin as thin as tissue paper.
Any cuts you get, even the slightest scratch will bleed for days.
BE CAREFUL!
All the best,
Jim.

Happy to read things are improving, Peter.
Don’t scare the man Jim, that’s not quite right in my experience…..I’ve been on Rivaroxiban for four months now.
Your skin remains the same, it doesn’t thin….you will bruise more easily though, and I’m sure your medical team would have told you what to look out for regarding signs of internal bleeding. They will also have told you to wear your wrist band at all times in case you are incapacitated in an accident.
If you do cut yourself you will bleed for longer, but not more fiercely. The blood will also be more watery in consistency and can trickle down your body without you realising. Its effect is very like that of flow agent in acrylic paint. This can lead to interesting episodes…..
A couple of weeks ago I nicked myself shaving without realising. I then went to town to get some shopping and wondered why I was getting more funny looks than normal. When I got home and saw myself in a mirror I realised why…..it looked like someone had tried to cut my throat. I had visible bloodstains around the front of the collar of my white shirt….nothing at all dangerous, just a small trickle from the shaving nick that had spread out as I moved around….., :tongue-out3:
Far be it from me to want to scare anyone Tim, I was only relating my own experience with "Apixaban" since being diagnosed with congestive heart failure
some years ago. I remember complaining to my doc about the fact that almost any contact with any thing sharp or edgy against my arms or legs
precipitated a "tear" as opposed to a scrape or scratch and also the fact that they bled for days. Not a good situation for someone who worked with chainsaws
and scrambling through brush and brambles plus working on equipment.
My doc told me "welcome to the world of blood thinners, would you rather have a stroke?" Not much of a bedside manner with this one, but I like and trust him.
Speaking of an embarrassing episode, we were at a BBQ and I was having a grand old time sucking on some fresh little necks (clams)
while waiting for the giant rib eyes that were on the hoof that very morning, these babies never even got near a refrigerator.
I noticed some blood on my napkin while eating the clams. It seems a shell edge must have nicked the inside of my lip...never even felt it.
Well it would not stop bleeding no matter what.....we had to leave! Man was I ever pissed!
My host did insist that we take two of the uncooked steaks with us out of pity, I'm a proud man and don't cotton to no charity
but if you saw those steaks you would have broke as I did.:hungry:
Glad to hear your skin has not been deleteriously effected, we're all different I guess.
Jim.
