Profuse

It seems strange that I should once again fall victim to a heat related illness.  I taught Heat Stress/Stroke, I know more than I care to about it and yet when it comes to myself, it is the little details I always miss.  Now the fact that I did not feel well was not a really red flag, or that I slept all day, or that I was so dizzy, but HOW I over looked the profuse sweating is a mystery to me.  When you are in A/C and still  profusely sweating you better pop the top of some electrolytes and start chugging!  It just took one third of a bottle of Pedialyte, grape or cherry if you haven't tried it yet, and things just got right back on track.  Now for me the moment the profuse sweating started, okay a few moments or so after, I thought, I have been down this same road before and I seem to remember it ending badly,  but this  time I have Pedialyte, two flavors no less!  The fact that I once again did not see the obvious sign until it was almost too late and I once again almost found myself on the floor did not escape me.  I am getting better at this, at least this time I actually had the right stuff to drink, and it was cold, instead of just wishing I had it, like last season.  My goal today is to make it to the water store and the store itself to get juice and more good stuff to drink.  This season of intense heat I will  remember for each Gatorade or fitness water to follow it with actual water.  The most important thing I will remember is that too much water is just as bad as not enough!

Laugh often, Live with Love!
