I'm pretty sure the bags all said .9%.

I don't know what my sodium level was while in the ER, as they didn't
tell me the numbers, just that my body chemistry, as measured by my
blood chemistry, was all messed up.

Two days after the ER, the web page showed my blood test sodium to be
129 mEq/L, with normal defined as 133-145*mEq/L. I have no idea how to
relate these numbers to the .9%. I would be interested if you know.
