Ack! I'm glad you're being taken care of. "Normal" saline is for people who don't qualify for the special saline. Actually, as you know, they're just making sure your blood volume stays up.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Sumi, "normal" saline means the concentration of NaCl in the IV is close to human physiological concentration. That's all.
I'm glad you're getting tests to figure this out!

Yikes! Sumi, I hope it's nothing. And if it is something, make it an easy thing. In the mean time, enjoy the swankness! Adjust that bed. Um. Yeah. Not sure how else to enjoy swankness of hospital. No matter how swanky, I always just want to get out.
