    I am scheduled for knee replacement surgery in a couple of weeks. I would 
like to bring in some EIS. Dee used an empty drinking bottle with her name on 
the lid. How do you get the bottle past the nurses? I also would like to bring 
in some B-12.

  I was in hospital several times recently. My son brought me in bottled spring 
water as the hospital water tasted foul. I kept these on top of my locker. I 
also got him to fill a smaller water bottle with EIS and I also kept this on my 
locker and regularly took a swig from this. no one even noticed. 

  In my toilet bag I also kept a spray bottle of EIS which I used on my face 
and hands all the time.

  Funnily enough the ward ended up closed for new admissions because of an 
outbreak of diarrhoea and vomiting among patients and staff. They said it was 
the winter vomiting virus (in June???) but several patients thought it was 
Cdiff. I upped the intake of EIS and had absolutely no problems.
