Thanks Mark. And I have no intention of doing a replay of that scene as survival rates are very low. And I got rid of another 5 lbs of water overnight. :) Another 10 lbs and I'll be back to where I was. Wearing a path in the rug. But at least, in my own bed, I am getting some sleep. Interestingly, they didn't give me any metformin/glucophage for my sugar. They did 3 finger sticks a day, and if I was too sweet, defined as over 150, I got 1 or 2 units of insulin. So now I know I can use insulin if I have to. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
