Why do I always have cuts on my legs?

[Axel Slingerland]

I've wondered about this for ages. I have all these cuts on my legs and I feel like I am held together by Nexcare Tegaderm style band-aids. Last night I figured it out. My wheelchair attacks me after I use it as a walker. Last night I walked into my kitchen, and I walked around it to sit down, a minute later I looked down and there was blood running down my leg.

I often wonder the same about bruises. It all happens because we refuse to sit around and do nothing!

The local bike shop thought it was so funny when I said I wanted to put a mirror on my wheelchair. I told them, "Yeah, I know... I would rather go biking in the Redwoods."

Me too! I can sit still at the table and it like a brise just jumps on me. Actually I'm reaching for something and hit my arm, hand on table or kneecap on table leg.
Today I was sitting on the porch with the Goldie dog Massie and she bumped me in the rib with her big nose, felt like she broke it.

I take this medication called Nabumetone for Arthritis, the upside is that for the most part it works, the downside is it messes with my Platelets and my arms look like somebody beat me half to death. Up in Eureka, every time I would go to one my Doc appointments, it never failed, somebody would ask me "Are you being abused?" and or "Are you safe at home?" Blah, blah, blah... I got so tired of having to explain that it's from Nabumetone, I started saying "It's a side effect of one of my meds" and left it at that.

Oddly enough, nobody has said that here.

Sorry about the reaction to the meds Axel, Maybe see if there is something lese you can take, I don't know of course.

I haven't found anything else. I have noticed when it hurts the least... When my Occiptal Nerve Blocks are working. But when they aren't working, everything hurts more and it's hard to tell one pain from another.
