right off we go...
Spent another morning at my new home. Royal Sussex County Hospital, being told how to take Warfarin (rat poison) safely... lah dee dah. All I have to do is stop eating anything healthy. I must avoid binge drinking so I think a life of permanent drunkenness is preferable. I should avoid anything with vitamin K in it. And I must carry a card AT ALL TIMES saying 'shoot the bitch'.
(Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in the blood-clotting process. Vitamin K deficiency is rare because vitamin K is stored in fat and also produced by the digestive tract. However, if you are taking the blood-thinning medication warfarin, or other medications that Vitamin K affects, you should avoid foods that contain vitamin K, which can lower the effectiveness of blood-thinning medications and increase your risk for developing blood clots. Consult your doctor before adjusting your vitamin K intake.)
Avoid eating green leafy vegetables, such as cabbage, spinach, kale, lettuce, parsley, Brussels sprouts (hu-bloody-rah) among others. Green leafy vegetables contain high levels of vitamin K and should be avoided when possible. Although cauliflower is not green, it should also be avoided. (Again, good) Choose other vegetables, such as squash, onions, cucumber and carrots. But not too much garlic.
Thank you Mooch and Mags for cheering my day up with a new hair colour and head massage.
