My mom lives in an apartment below us. My father passed away 18 months ago from a heart attack in my back yard (I found him, it was awful). This morning my mom called my cell saying she was bleeding a lot. I ran downstairs and she was in the shower -- after searching for the blood source I determined a vein in her leg had a small pin prick and all the blood was coming from this. After I cleaned her up I cleaned out her shower (good amt of blood) and found 2 clots in the shower. I immediately called her doctor who asked if she was taking her aspirin. She said she has not been taking it. I am so so mad (after being afraid). The doctor will see her tomorrow to look at her legs to see if she needs some laser surgery on the veins. I cannot believe she has not been taking the aspirin. She takes pills at the drop of a hat. I just gave her the riot act about what could have happened (she had no idea) and told her to take her aspirin. ARGH
