I confess I had a medical emergency today

[gwheezie]

It's not terribly hot, mid 80's but very humid in Virginia. I was out doing yard work and cleaning the dogs yard. I pushed myself to get finished but admit I started feeling woozy and staggered up to my porch sweating profusely and had to stop and take a breath before climbing up the 3 steps to my porch. I'm feeling much better after taking the extraordinary life saving measurs of getting a drink of water and sitting in front of a fan. Whew, that was near death.

1. Hahaha! And that is essentially what all the "concern" is here.

2. I had a medical emergency on my motorcycle when I was 22

I was riding through town in 80 degree, 15% humidity with a dark shirt on and got very dizzy. I managed to stop safely, went into a gas station and got a cold drink of Gatorade. I felt much better after cooling and rehydrating with electrolytes and was able to continue on my way.

It was very surprising since it didn't seem that hit or humid, and I was young.

3. I fainted once in a hot church

had forgotten to eat breakfast. I was 10 years old. Guess I should never be elected to any office and should have been hospitalized rather than sent to a swimming pool after eating something.

6. me too but I was in the choir

not allowed to have breakfast before communion, in hot robe, kneeling while others received communion and down I went. Got stuck between the kneeler and the front thing - they had a hard time getting me out. Woke up in the priest's office. that was decades ago and the doctor said I was very healthy last week so that's it!

8. exactly. it happens. and not making light of her wobbling and hopefully she's fine like we

believe her to be, but people do get woozy and light headed. I can't imagine wearing a kevlar vest, and a suit coat on a mid 80s (real feel temp) day in the sun with all those people wanting to talk to me. She should have had a coconut water with her and a hat!

Glad you survived! lol
