Suddenly, siren goes off, and lights DS>> flash...with the sign screaming "DIDN'T WASH HANDS!!" . NB>> That might get someone's attention... ;) DS> You would hope so. But, they've gone overboard with the sanitizer DS> soap, etc. The kids nowadays don't have a chance to build up DS> immunities...I remember growing up kids eating dirt from mudpies, etc. It's one thing to need to avoid transfering germs from one sick patient to another in the hospital... and another to think that removing any interaction with germs would keep one from getting sick... ;) My son has more than once thanked me for letting him develop a good immune system by not over-protecting from germs as he was growing up... ;) DS> With the bladdder stone surgery yesterday (Feb. 7), being on that DS> hard gurney and table...combined with the degenerative disk disease in DS> my spinal column, and arthritis in my hips (and through the entire body DS> for that matter), they got me on the table, and I felt like I was being DS> put in stirrups...and it wasn't for riding a horse. They originally DS> were going to put the COLD anti-bacterial soap in the groin area (don't DS> need a UTI) after they put me to sleep, but I said they could do it DS> first. It was COLD -- I guess they wanted to be sure I was awake before DS> they put me to sleep. Probably why they usually would wait until one was under...

Sounds like a wise decision... :) NB>> You'll likely be raring to go by then... ;) DS> I hope so...the exercise is good for me. They do say that moving arthritic joints helps keep them limber and less painful in the long run... I've seen that be the case a number of times...

The visual acuity went from 20/2000, to DS> 20/20, with a little astigmatism.
