And I shouldn't have. I am clearly not "over" this heat exhaustion episode. By the end of class, I handed Jam over to a classmate and asked him to run her. I couldn't do it. I came home so supremely exhausted, it was all I could do to drag my weary body up the stairs to bed.
It took me until 4 PM on Wednesday to work through the nausea and the crappy way I felt all day. Today I felt good in the morning, but not so hot come afternoon. I did make an appointment with my doctor for next week, so hopefully he can help me out.
Meanwhile, our dryer crapped out. YAY! not. We don't have time to do anything about it until Saturday, so in the meantime, I've been washing the clothes and then hanging them out on a line to dry. Course, with my heat sensitivity, being outside hasn't helped, but the laundry HAS to get done. I've been downing Propel like crazy.
I did do a little research and found that I also most likely had what's called "water intoxication." Basically you down so much water that your system pushes out all the sodium and potassium and you literaly become "drunk" on water! Crazy.
We're hoping to go out on the boat on Sunday. I plan to keep in the shade, drink plenty of Propel and jump into the freezing cold water whenever I feel like it!

MM is the man. We are so lucky here in the NE to have him. I heard he took good care of you.
So did they tell you that Propel is better to drink than water? I was wondering.

Hope the boating refreshed you.
