Her dosage was more or less left up to her husband, who had permission to give her an extra pill if her pettite seisures were often enough to impact her safety. I personally never saw her in Grande Mall, but I understand she did have one very occasionally. No doubt. But, IMO, they are probably treatable with the exception of the color vision. In fact, I've occasionally wished I was color blind because really excellent night vision goes with color blindness. I have 2 long term friends who cannot read a single number in the std color blind quick test booklet used by school teachers to screen students. I'm looking out at a black night, and they are seeing their grey tabby cat walking across the yard as plain as day. And it gets worse with age, to the point I'd druther not drive at night now (I'm 69), all because I do have excellent color vision. Monitor frequencies generally are 31khz and up, often way up. But OTOH, while I can't "hear" them, there certainly is a sort of high pressure feeling I get in whats left of my ears when the monitors come on. And this ones running at 71khz! I also "hear" those acoustic motion sensor burglar alarms that run at about 42khz, well enough I have to clear the area in a few minutes or suffer extreme tinnitus for hours. But then I've had mild tinnitus for 35 years. I've worn out 3, 30 calibre rifle barrels and one 22-250 at the target range without any ear muffs in the early years of that. Yes, I can spell dumb. :-) I don't recall legislation was in the subject, but leave it to the ACLU and they'll probably introduce something so poorly written as to be totally off the wall in real life. Mmm, seems we've wandered waayyy off topic, sorry list. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
