It's been a while since I've visited. I pretty much thought you'd stopped updating. Great to see I was wrong and still love your stories. Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve visited.

Is this just part of the decomposition process? I love reading about what the public rarely gets to hear about. Can't wait for the next story! <blockquote>It sounds like you're describing an ecchymosis, which is essentially blood that has leached out of an area of ruptured vasculature and settled just under the surface of the skin creating a blister. The elderly or those with weakened vascular systems are predisposed to sustaining ecchymoses. They are commonly produced at injection sites or when the person is lifted or moved by a caregiver. Hope that helps and thanks for the kind words. A Douglas</blockquote> Why do some bodies have what looks like black blood blisters on them? Is this just part of the decomposition process?
