my doc was talking about some of the prep choices
gaging me. the meds to put me to sleep were through an
iv. i wathed it a clear liquid then something that was
white as milk and i did not see the last of it going

the good thing is now i know that there is no obvious

discovered early, but, if it is there undiscovered,
you can be a dead man quickly. 

how old are you chester?
