He says to me &#8220;I think my neck is bleeding&#8221; and I look over to see blood running down his neck.  I think I swore in surprise, paused the game, and ran for paper towels.   I helped him get his neck cleaned up and advised him on direct pressure while I went back to my game. <\/p>\n<p>After about 10 minutes or so, we checked the area again and the paper towel was soaked through.  And the blood wasn&#8217;t stopping.   This time, I got out the first aid supplies and used several layers of gauze along with some neosporin and tape.  <\/p>\n<p>On saturday, we check things out again and when we removed the gauze it started bleeding again.  I cleaned the area then put on more gauze.    It still wasn&#8217;t better by the evening, so I called my parents (both former volunteer paramedics) and got some advice.  <\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, we were able to remove the gauze without it bleeding again.   I again helped with the clean up and replaced that elaborate first-aid gear with a simple band-aid.<\/p>\n<p>Weird things&#8230;   The affected area was the size of a needle stick.  It was on the side and toward the back of his neck.  He doesn&#8217;t have any idea what caused it.    He had been taking a lot more aspirin than usual for the past few days due to a cold\/headache combo and it could be that it was causing a blood thinning effect. <\/p>\n<p>If it hadn&#8217;t stopped on Sunday, I think I would have been driving him to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>In other news&#8230; I went for a walk on Saturday over to Lowe&#8217;s and GameStop.  Picked up a new Wii game and some dremel supplies.     I also worked on a project to turn an old keyboard into thumbtacks &#8211; turned out pretty cool and I&#8217;ll have to get some pictures.
