bleeder

For the next few months, Monster will be on strong blood thinners.

He can't eat dark leafy greens or anything else that is rich in vitamin K, which is the antidote for the blood thinner, for the time being. Hopefully, he'll only be on these meds for a few months. I fear the blood thinners. They so often seem to do more harm than good. They are a necessary evil for now.

The cat misses him too. She actually does seem to be in need of his company. She just mopes on the steps indoors or huddles in her heated spot outside now, like she knows something is wrong. She suffers the lack of his warm feet.

One doctor said he might be able to come home tomorrow if the therapeutic levels in his blood are where they want them to be. His prognosis is very good. Cross your fingers and wish him luck on a quick return to normal.
