Well, I'm back and still above ground.

Thank you both for this advice and the recommendation of the Curad band-aids.

My house companion is a very playful kitty,,,
Both of my forearms are dotted with tiny wounds.

Often they take hours to clot,,,
A regular styptic pencil does nothing for them.

Thanks again.

But,,,
I luvs my Kitty-Kat!

Jamie Lee not only keeps me company,,,
She gives me a purpose in life taking care of her.

She helps me get to sleep at night when she curls up in my armpit,,,
And she amuses me to no end with her daily Zoomie Antics.

I'll just buy a lot of those good bandages.

Never mind this stuff. I just used it for the first time last night and it stings like hell and didnt work (helped a little) to stop the bleed but it turned my skin black like stain and wont wash off lol.

Yep,,,
I carry those in my "possibles" bag,,,
That's the tote bag that I started carrying after my last surgery.

It has everything that I could possibly need,,,
Just in case a sneeze goes wrong,,,
Or I scratch myself.

I did buy a spray bottle of "Curad QUICKSTOP Bleeding Control Spray",,,
It's worthless if sprayed directly on an active bleed,,,
The blood flow seems to wash it away.

But if you spray it on the gauze/Band-Aid,,,
Then it works very well indeed.
