No stroke, heart attack, no heart disease and take my htn meds. and 81 mg. baby aspirin as a self prevention. just had tattoo excised 4 inch long cut. stitches and surgical glue. wants me to wait 3.5 weeks til restart 81 mg. hmm?

What else: Just a skin wound would not warrant staying off aspirin for 3.5 weeks. What else is going on? It would be prudent to ask your doctor about getting started sooner, e.,g, after one week. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Wish you good health!
