You said you fasted Mini-Me for 8 hours before surgery. Who recommended that? I've always heard to remove access to food no more than 4 hours before and water no more than 2 hours before surgery. 8 hours is definitely an entirely different school of though... ~Tammy - a.k.a. Kesrael "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wonder are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." "May it be you journey on To light the day; When the night is overcome You may rise to find the sun" [Posted in FML issue 5029]
