Perrette also asks her Twitter followers for advice on the wound she obtained. She asks, “Is there a doc or nurse in the house? My vein swelled up and turned black under the cut to the vein, do I need to go see a doc?”
One Twitter follower chimes in saying, “From a retired RN. Yes. You need to see a doctor. You may have a hematoma from an injured blood vessel or damaged artery that runs right across your wrist.”
Went to ER, it’s ugly, but will be ok they say. Probably a wounded vein and hematoma. I’m bandaged up and think it’s gonna be ok. Thanks y’all! Much love! I was scared!

And sometimes get my hand caught in a fan!”
