What's an appropriate aspirin cessation before extraction.plan 2 appointments.stop 6 days before 1st visit.should continue aspirin before stop again?

One week: You need to stop it one week before planned procedure. Some procedures do not require stopping aspirin. It would help to know why you are taking Aspirin in the first place, to assess risk of stopping it. So stop aspirin, do first procedure, start again on aspirin, then stop one week before second procedure.

Depends: Depends how much Aspirin you are taking?. If you were taking only one Aspirin a day as cardiovascular preventive care, which you don't need at your age, then stoping 2 days before extraction will be fine. If you were taking high doses of Aspirin for other causes than i think stoping for 5 days is safe, and resume 24 hours after extraction.
