If the scar on your leg where they Inserted your catheter (and any attached bruising )has not finished healing then the scarring on your heart probably hasn't either and you will need to adjust your activities accordingly

Is it just me, or do scars take a lot longer to heal and disappear when we are on anti-coagulants? I gashed my leg on one side of my shin, in my workshop recently. The bleeding wasn't so bad and, despite the Apixaban, it stopped quite quickly (wore a plaster for a day). However, both the bruising and the scab and then the scar took far longer to go than I expected. I blamed the AC.
