   The 11yo is doing more blood smears with the new microscope today, and one of the first things we learned is that I have a wolverine healing factor. I’d poke my finger, squeeze it to get a drop of blood, and only get a half-drop before it sealed back up.

   She was not impressed, and told me to stab my finger harder with the pin.

     Nothing to see here, just an 11yo studying BLOOD with her microscope.

     Have you ever had covid?

     Hypercoagubility is common in postcovid vascular disease

     Makes blood draws difficult

     @NilaJones Not that I know of! It’s possible, I guess. I’ve had a few colds and lots of negative tests since 2020.

     @NilaJones But I’ve also had plenty of blood draws over past four years, and no suggestion of any problems. I think I just didn’t poke my finger hard enough.
