Woohoo! Glad you got through it okay Charlie. Prayers to add to your prayer pool from me.

I remember (fondly) my neurologist asking me after the spinal "What colour do you think your fluid is?" I hadn't considered the colour of spinal fluid, but that got my creative mind going. I said, "I'm guessing green!". He laughs... "uh... no..." and holds up a completely clear liquid to show me.

Green. Yeah, good guess Laura. Guess I thought I was Slimer or something.
