He’s obviously on a blood thinner and anytime he bumps his hands or any part of his body, he’s going to bruise like that. It could also be an IV site, because the blood will pool under the skin when the IV is removed. He’s probably getting IV fluids or vitamin bags regularly due to his poor health.🥳

Loads of people get that from an IV that’s blown, regardless of if their own blood thinners or not… medication goes interstitial ..especially older people. It’s reported he takes aspirin really.

True. But.. What’s reported and the truth are 2 entirely different things though. Usually when I’ve drawn blood or remove an IV on an elderly patient on anticoagulants, it never fails that they develop a huge bruise when the blood pools. He’s in terrible health. It’s obvious. 💁🏼‍♀️

I think it IV bags because he is 79 and never sleeps
