Hi, so I have a question I thawed some pork chops and thought I could use the blood the garden. So I cooked it in the oven but I think I over cooked it bc it isnt coming off of my pan.. I cooked it at 200 but I was in the kitchen doing a few things so i didnt think it was very long.. I guess I didnt check on it enough or stir it. But half of it came up and half it it stuck to my small cake pan I dont use much.. I was going to cook the bones down as much as I can so break them down and put them in the compost.. well my question is how can I get the other half up? Add water then put it the oven to soften it up then scrape and then what?

well- I got one in a half gallon pot, cut it into three sections, and planted them in my rock wall. one's red, one's green trimmed with red, and the fastest growing one is almost entire green... sun does play a part, as does water, as does growth- the more sun, the less water, the smaller and redder the leaves tend to be. since you're watering them (to help the plants adjust to their new home) I'm not surprised that they're changing colors... I'd give them another month, and see if the color starts coming back. mine, oddly enough, is at its reddest in the early fall!

Aspirin doesn't work the same way and doesn't do the same thing as Warfarin. Warfarin is an old (no more drug-company patents) drug that many, many people take. It has almost no side effects other than thinning your blood. (So you needn't worry unless you will be playing football or other contact sport any tme soon!) If you are taking Warfarin and need surgery, your doctor will take you off the Warfarin and make other arrangements prior to and after the surgery. The only bother about it is that you must stick with a consistent diet and you will need to have your blood tested regularly to make sure your dosage is putting your blood within the level your doctor has prescribed. A consistent diet means that if you eat X amount of broccoli, or drink X amount of wine, you should do so regularly. For example, if you never eat broccoli, then one day eat a large portion of it, it will affect your blood "thin-ness". So, yes, there are food and other drugs that are contraindicated, but that doesn't mean you must necessarily avoid them. Only that you eat than with regularity. One important issue: most doctors are not equipped to handle long-term maintenance tests for drugs like Warfarin. There may be an "Anti-coagulation clinic" who your doctor will refer you to - the clinic will monitor your tests, bug you when you are overdue for a test, and let you know if you need to change your dose. Find out if there is such a clinic available to you and if so, definitely get your doctor to offload your Warfarin maintenance to the clinic. Good luck.

Ellied, yes, absolutely never ignore bleeding of any kind. I have a 30 something family member who was experiencing blood in the stool and she went to her doc right away. He sent her for a colonoscopy and she said the doc who did the procedure told her she was too young to have polyps...she had two. One they could remove that day but the other was too large and required surgery. Her doc told her had she waited they could have been cancerous in a few more months. It was quite a scare for all of us. I am so happy for your husband that he is doing so well now. Goodluck to both of you!
