Different Parts Of Body Like Hands , Feet And Now Ear Getting Blue As If Bruised, What’s Going On?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband 86 yrs of age has been in the nursing home for last 10 months, he fractured his hip in May 2021 and after that has been in the N home. Recently it’s been noticed on my face to face visits that his hand and fingers on the outer side were blue and now his right year.
Please can someone tell me what’s happening here and does he need to see the doctor. He has one aspirin a day.
He is in his last stages of Alzeihmers.
Thanks
