Blood Worse Than Cut

Last night at nightfall, I ventured outside in my long cotton robe with hood and down the stairs to the hot tub I went and when I got to the side of entry, I raised the lid, removed the robe, and lifted a leg over the side and into the hot water whereupon I slipped while heaving forward, cracking my head upon the siding wall of the storage room under the back porch.  It stung a little but into the hot water I submerged myself and as I lay curled into a corner, I felt a trickle down my head and soon discovered it was blood.

The sash from my cotton robe I pulled and after blotting my head with my robe wrapped the thin sash around my head like a turban and remained inside the warm waters until the heat I could not longer stand and once inside the house while drying I soon discovered that the bruise above my head once the make shift turban was removed was bleeding as was a cut upon my left hand that I had used to brace myself against the fall.

My hand took 3 band aids until the blood from that cut was contained but the cut upon my forehead proved to be a little more menacing after taping down a couple gauze squares over the band aid already there.

And while neither cut was as bad as it appeared to be bleeding, I can once again thank XARELTO for my new condition.
