I hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks. I'll try these.

My surgeon indicated that bruising is an indication of vitamin K deficiency...

Thanks for all of the good suggestions. My bruises are finally starting to fade and i haven't noticed new ones. I've doubled up on my vitamins and will continue to do so until they are used up. I will be home in a few weeks and will check into alternatives then. 

Again,many thanks.
