I hope you enjoy your mini vacation lying around in bed! At least now, you can get up when you want!!!
The anesthesiologist says he usually runs 2 liters into someone before he does an epidural. I didn't get an instruction sheet... and sometime the military is lacsidasical on their instructions. All I read about them was how they were done, I didn't do much more research than that, which is very unlike me.
