Her skin can tear if you grab her wrong. She is on Coumadin. She has had one wound after another. The wounds prevent her from taking showers. The last wound I think resulted from her sitting with her feet propped up too high and the skin tore and she bled for awhile until it was discovered. We don't even know how she hurts herself anymore just that there is yet another site to deal with and another trip to the wound center.
She will get a cut or a bump and bleed a bit, but her skin doesn't really tear. She will get nosebleeds once or twice in the winter, but that's about it. What's your mom's diet like?
Finally one doctor decided to take Dad off of Coumadin because the doctor felt chances of Dad having a major bleed, being Dad was a fall risk, were much much higher than Dad having another heart attack.
