Thanks Lois, wow, you're a full timer here ! Do you ever sleep ?

Lois is my right-hand "man" and has been a tremendous resource with her nursing experience, but unlike Jack Bauer, she does need to sleep ("Jack Bauer does not sleep. The only rest he needs is what he gets when he's knocked out or temporarily killed.")

One of the main reasons I started this site and forum was to educate people with MC about the dangers of anesthesia. My mom had cardiac arrest during routine surgery and was revived but woke up with some serious paddle burns on her chest.

We are more likely to have our hearts stop because of potassium levels building up, but we can develop malignant hyperthermia-type reactions, too. It's always best to use the MH protocol.

Thanks for a double-giggle! I enjoyed that.
David, I usually only get on here in the evening. But I do love Jan, and this site has been such an enormous help and boost for me, that I really like to share whatever I can, even if it's just support and empathy.
