My 84 year old mother was recently in the hospital emergency room for chest pains. It turned out to be indegestion or some such. As always she was there for a long time and as always they hooked her to an IV. I can't remeber why they were checking her bloodsugar, maybe only because she is diabetic. Through the hours they kept checking it and it kept growing.

My mother knows her ***** and was paying attention and finally asked them what it was that they were casually putting in her arm. Golly, gee, its a glucose drip and there on her chart it clearly states she is diabetic. its probably a real good thing my mom was paying attention as she soon was asleep for the night. She probably would have been in shock by morning.

She got over it.

Some day I'll tell you of how little importance the color of your engine oil is.
