Oh yes, aspirin's an anti-coagulant...
Aug. 14th, 2007 09:14 amTMI warning.
This morning the general feeling of stuffy nose turned out to be in part because I'd had a slight nose bleed during the night -- on both sides, even though the stuffiness is much worse on one side than the other. A certain degree of worry ensued, until I remembered how much aspirin I'd taken over the weekend... Well, I suppose I was going to be taking aspirin anyway over the weekend, though at a much lower dose, specifically as an anti-coagulant. Don't need to worry overly much about DVT on this week's long-haul flight now. :-)
