I can do that! -hands out spankings-
Whew! What a day!
So... the girl went to a consultation today about her teeth (she's having them all pulled and full dentures made)... so I sat in the car to wait since my own appointment was a little bit away. The two different places are about 3 minutes apart, so I wasn't worried about that. So, I am reading comics, I am getting hot. So she can see me from where she is, and tells me to go ahead to my wound clinic appointment. I leave and I don't realize how hot I got until I went inside in the AC and my shirt is soaked. I was wearing a plain grey tee, so you could tell. A little strip in the front was light, but the rest was dark. I feel weak, sweating profusely now, and a little shaky. Get back to the back and Susan, one of my nurses says I look pale and peaked. BP is ok, but heartrate is 115bpm. A little high. So they take my blood sugar, since I am diabetic. It's a
50. Which is horribly low. So, 3 glucernas, 2 nutri-grain bars and a pack of peanut butter crackers later and they get me up to a 90. Susan tells me I am already looking better, color coming back. So yeah, there was a bit of concern. My sugar should be about 120-180 (for me). The heat just overtaxes your body and you don't realize how much energy your body is using trying to keep you cool.
So... I feel better, went and got her and grabbed some food on the way home. Still feel a little weak, but much better. In celebration of not getting heatstroke, here'a little kitty!
