while he was waiting to see the specialist re his blood thinners, you were pretty adament that he would be out longer than the press releases were suggesting, much longer - like months.
now you are arguing that the thinners should have no effect on his recovery.
what am I missing that leaves you with those two viewpoints?

Normal patients have to be on blood thinners for three months. That has no impact on his fitness, but contact can lead to bleeding, which can be serious on anticoagulants, therefore playing would not be possible. Once off "blood thinners" he would be completely back to normal.
Also, "blood thinners" is a misnomer. What they do is inhibit a part of the clotting cascade, which leads to proteins in the blood clumping. Blood thinners DO NOT decrease viscosity of the blood.
