Pace and I decided to go out to a Saturday night movie date. We haven't done that in a long time. It was a great late show, comfy seats, great sound and a BIG screen. Sometimes home theatres just don't cut it.
So as we are leaving Pace notices a cut on her hand.
"Get it covered." I said and she did.
It is still bleeding on and off for the next day. Considering her imune system is down, open cuts are not desirable.
Then I remember, about the anti-coagulant to keep the veins open, duh! Warfarin has an interesting history. The reason for the beautiful farm scene is that it originally comes from stuff called ensilage (it's an agricultural term in english too.) It has an interesting history as chemical used as an anti-coagulant in humans and as poison for rats.
Treating cancer is a real balancing act between chemicals.
