De
I have discovered there a few things we can get at Aldi's that are normal and much the same. You are right in your comments.

200 cans of stuff is a month's supply of food eh?

Docs tend to overprecribe the use of warfarin and ordinarily wind up cutting it back for the very reason yours did. Samr thinghappened to my plant superintendent when they put him on a blood thinner because he had some eschemic strokes.

Glad you gotout of the house and were able to go shopping!

AN indicator that you are gradually healing and recovering a little strength back...

Well, not the BIIIG city, but around here any town with more than 2,500 people is big.

Had my blood tested at the hospital. It's too thin by a fair margin. (The reading should stay between 2 and 3. I tested at 4.2.) They told me not to use any warfarin for the next two days and to eat a nice leafy salad today. Leafy vegetables, you might remember, counteract warfarin, so the salad will help thicken my blood. It'll be a pleasure. I miss salad. They'll test me again on the 7th.

Next, we went to Wal-mart and Aldi. Aldi is a discount supermarket some of you might have heard of. It has excellent prices but few name brands and a poor selection compared to your local Safeway or Kroger. Between the two stores, we bought about $400 of food, mostly canned, and a few other things we needed. When we got home, 213 cans went into the garage utility room. It stays temperate in the winter because of a furnace and water heater, so we've got a month's worth of food right there. Perhaps another week's worth went upstairs into the freezer, fridge and pantry.

At the hospital, I asked about the Wuhan virus. The first woman told me that a case of it had turned up in Manchester (New Hampshire.) Whoa! I asked the nurse who drew my blood and she said that two cases have been detected in the state. But upon further discussion, I found that she didn't know the difference between the Wuhan coronavirus and just-plain-coronavirus. My conclusion is that the women probably didn't know what they were talking about. I'll do a little research now that I'm home.
